...and maybe Autumn will not be that loving or appreciative a daughter, for that is how society is influencing the kids nowadays. Unfortunately, most who make sacrifices for loved ones judge whether it was 'worth it' according to how they were treated or loved in return, they do not see that if you have expectations, then you did not make ANY sacrifices, what you did is make 'investments'.

My next question is, if the ghost of Lorraine was, as most psychiatrists would tell us (do they even have one tiny romantic bone in their body?), just a manifestation of our subconscious - should we listen to it? After all, our subconscious has an agenda of its own, wanting us to live our life according to how it thinks life should be lived. I do not think my subconscious is that intelligent....or that it is any more ethical than I am.
