Oh no! So sorry to hear about your parents, how unfair and terrible is that!!! At least you're back home now and are closer to them. It must have been awful if you were still living in France, that helplessness of not being able to do anything or even give them a hug can really break you.

And the thought of potentially living with cancer, not a nice thought, but no point living and worrying about something that may or may not happen. You've set yourself up nicely for the life ahead of you with your new home, so enjoy that!!
