She was very beautiful, and you look so much like her. Sweetie, don't ever have regrets about the things you didn't do while she was here. That is the basic relationship of all parents and children; it always has been and most likely will continue to be. We all have a purpose which is uniquely our own. Regardless what you have chosen to do with your life, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that your precious mom will always be watching over you with huge pride. Parents always want the very best for their kids (because we love them so much), but part of this love requires that we let go and allow them to walk along their own path. You did what every normal person does. I'm just so very sorry you lost her at such a young age sweetie. <br /><br />It takes a BIG person to accept full responsibility for their own happiness and an even BIGGER person to accept full responsibility for their own unhappiness.<br /><br />But man, it takes a spiritual GIANT, who upon realizing any degree of unhappiness or remorse, decides to be the change they seek - in spite of having to endure the challenges and hurdles.<br /><br />You should be incredibly proud of yourself. As a parent, I know that I would be totally gushing at your accomplishments, dedication and success. You're truly lovely. Feel great - always!<br /><br />Big HUGS,<br />RisaRisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433150654645400708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-57512592948958671622007-08-13T05:02:00.000-04:002007-08-13T05:02:00.000-04:00You're such an inspiration, Carol.
