You can already see how Flip is building the foundations for his adult personality and skill set. I really like his mom. You can tell that he inherited a lot from her.
I find it interesting that she often sleeps on the couch. I guess that must be a common grief coping mechanism. Dad and I camped out in the living room for over a week together after Mom died. He hated the idea of sleeping in their bed. Honestly, I think one of the main reasons he finally did go back is so that I would go back to my room. I didn't want to leave him alone in the living room. It was comforting to share sleeping space. I didn't realize that other people did it too. (slept in the living room while dealing with grief, I mean)
