Thank you all for the responses @pam @zil @JohnsonJones I really appreciate the time yall took to explain. This is news to me, but when I think about, it makes sense. Collective wisdom of the internet comes through again!! Preciate yall. Take care. ?

Hey folks. I've asked a number of people this question and everyone seems to have an opinion, but it always starts with "I'm not really sure". So I've ventured here in the hopes that the collective wisdom of the internet will be able to help. So I am a person born into a split household. Mother was LDS, Father was not. I was raised as an inactive member (baptized at 8yrs old but never became active) but have come back to the church over the last couple years. Mother passed away a few years ago, but became active in her final years, father is still alive (still not a member). A big reason/motivation/goal for my becoming active and worthy to go to the temple was the thought that I can be sealed to my mother/family for all time and eternity. So my question is: can I be sealed to my mother separately? Or do I need to wait until my father dies (I don't mean that as morbid as it probably sounds), then baptize, endow, seal to my mother by proxy, at which point I could be sealed to them together? And is there somewhere that this information is published that I could print and share with the rest of my family? I apologize if I did a poor job of explaining the situation. But thank you all in advance for any light you can shed on this.
