I feel both you and C on the mortality thoughts. My own family history scares me, but I have no way of course to know which shoe will fall on me, or whether I will be like one of the few that did live to be reasonably old and independent. As far as wanting to know more about your mom's condition, I get that too, but also wonder if the need to understand will make anyone's lives easier, in the present moment, or the future.
Interesting though about autoimmune possibilities, since you have it also in some form. I hope that doesn't add to your dad's burdens. Focusing on daily life and being present is important for all of us, too. We are all doing the best we can, or trying to do enough. I remember your trying to define 'enoughness', and it's a moving target.
