patty, i feel so bad for you because i see my mom and i in your situation. i went through a period of time in my early adult hood that i did not appreciate my mom for everything she had done for me. i am happy to say that we did finally work through things and lived a full life enjoying each other and her grandchildren. my only regret is that i didn't spend more time with her because she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in october of 2000 and she died january 8, 2001. it took her so fast and i remember it like it was yesterday. my pain is still just as vivid today as it was the day she left us. i had so much to make up for and didn't have the chance. that's why i hope your daughter will come to her senses and realize that life is too short to not be gracious and thankful for her mother.
you've been a good example for her and i hope that she will see the world in front of her. i pray for you and the healing of your spirit.
much love, shelley
