      Thank you. I know that it is hard to deal with life when such strong paternal figures are missing. You are putting a lot of pressure on yourself for not being as competent as they were, but maybe on the inside they also thought they were struggling but did not want to tell people. You've also had to start becoming an adult without their support and advice. I'm sure with time you will get to understand that what you do is just as important, and that maybe it will become easier and you will be even better. I don't think your father would look down on you for you not being able to "follow in his footsteps", he would be proud of what you've become and would want you to be happy.
