Or to come over and help her with something. LOL Really it is nice to see if they were ever listening at all and its surprising when the light goes off that- she did hear me and remembered what I said!!!! Jess was my only one and the house is so empty. It was even harder for us due to the fact she had a bad car wreck at 17 and was left a paraplegic. So from 17 to almost 19 she was back with us 24/7. It seems like I keep losing her over and over. But this time it was for the good cause I have a fantastic son-in-law and I get to keep my Granddogger for them quite often as they travel out of state with his job. So sit back relax and have a laugh the first time she call and ask how to do something!!!!And say a little prayer that she ia able to grow into a terrific adult. |
Thank you. I do try to look at the positives . . .I've always been a very involved parent and she tells me everything and anything (which sometimes isn't/wasn't that great) but I feel we had a closer relationship than I had with my own parents. I just need to be able to let go . . .I keep it in my mind daily, so that way when the day finally comes, I'll have hopefully made peace with it.
Your daughter sounds like a wonderful person!
