my middle kid was just here for a 2 hour visit. we havent talked in a few years, except at my sister's memorial in january.
she is moving out of state, and wanted to tie up loose ends. i was a loose end.
being a good mom means just sweeping that all away, embracing her, telling her how much i love her.
since my divorce, the most crushing loneliness has been the rift w my kids. especially this one.
not only mended fences, but listened to her tell me about how she has made use of the things she got from me. and how much she is like me.
of course, there is also some mental illness that runs hard in this family. but she is coping, getting meds, getting help, and growing up anyway.
sad that this had to happen as she is moving away, but glad i get to be a part of her grand adventure.
happy tears feel so good.
