CE...that is sad about you and your daughter, but realizing that is huge. I know they turn into aliens when they get into their teen years, making it much harder to connect. She needs you though, even though she pretends not to. Someone once told me that if you have teens, you have to stay up past midnight once in a while to chat with them (that's when they come alive for some reason). It was really good advice.

I find it difficult to remember any happy times growing up, but there are a couple, no T would ever talk about them with me though.
