Welcome back Ella.
Im so sorry to hear about your parents. Life can really suck sometimes, but just remember that you have your brothers and sisters here in the Dhamma to make it suck all that much less.
Take care.

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Welcome back, I hope everything goes well for you.
All the world is on fire, All the world is burning, All the world is ablaze, All the world is quaking. That which does not quake or blaze, That to which worldlings do not resort, Where there is no place for Mara:That is where my mind delights. (SN 5.7)
By degrees, little by little,
from moment to moment,
the wise purify themselves,
as a smith purifies silver.
—Dhammapada 239

Welcome! 
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Werlcome.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.
Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.
