I'm grateful that my mother has a lot of friends, and an active life, without dementia, etc. I'm grateful I got the chance to call her today. It seems I might not be in the daughter box, still, but someone else she can relate to in a non-relative status.

It's clear she doesn't love me the way she loves my sisters, so I'll be glad she can at least be kind to me. Lol I'm like a puppy chasing bread crumbs, but that's our relationship in a nut shell. I don't want to ever lose her.
