I would like to learn more about that 13-year-old who was so self-composed and steady and able to function effectively for such a long period.

There was an Irish Catholic family of 4 or 5 kids that I knew back in the 70s whose parents died when the oldest was 18. She went to court and had herself declared their guardian, and did an AMAZING job looking out for her younger siblings. When there were still a couple of them with her at home, she got married. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Think of the lifetime bonding experience and maturing the 13-year-old and 9-year-old have shared.
