Big (((HUGS))), Ashley. I know how it is to be the one that must remain strong, give to others and somebody else seems always to have worse problems/more going on. In fact, that is what my own mother used to say to me when I'd start talking about my own problems--tell me to serve someone else.
As you probably know, I write a lot about my inner thoughts, or things I wouldn't in the the day to day world and find it helps me--like there are supportive people here listening. Want you to know I am happy to be in support of you today.
I really do hope that you and your family soon find health, peace and prosperity and that you're able to continue focusing on your studies despite all that is going on around you.
