Oh, thanks Jozrael. I probably went off a little too much there, since it builds up over time. Just FYI, I have a stepdad and we are really close, and he's the only dad I know... he replaced my father just fine, as far as I'm concerned, but my Icelandic family doesn't always acknowledge that, either. It's just weird when people get so obsessed with "what could have been," that they can't even see the reality, especially when the reality is so positive. Nostalgia can be a very, very bad thing.
