Just got caught up on this post, Leafy. I honestly do not know how you keep it together. A hero amongst us!
I believe that sometimes we look for the "biggest" positive achievement and neglect to appreciate the work by our kids to gain smaller milestones. I hope that your girls will see the need to change their paths just as you need to take care of yours. And special prayers for the grands.
I only hope that I can continue on as positively as you are.
Hugs to you.
