[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 482934, member: 9175"] Well, I am back from an enjoayble round of visits - and two meals! X finally got in touch with difficult child and told her about my phone's milkbath incident. She seized the opportunity and texted my neighbor to tell me that she was much too ill to go with me. Neighbor delivered the message, laughing hysterically about the fate of the phone. I did try calling her - offered to bring her a doggie bag since she was bedridden with this terrible illness and lives five minutes from my sister. Of course, she didn't answer the phone. Both gatherings were filled with great conversation,amazing food and fun. Then why do I feel so awful? My great-nieces and nephews are all close in age to difficult child. One is a senior in high school, the rest are all either in college or recently graduated. They are busy with work, school, friends, adventures. Every single one of them took a moment (or more) to talk with me tonight...such amazing and interesting young men and women. I remember the days when we'd arrive at these celebrations. We'd walk in and difficult child (before she was a difficult child) would run off with her cousins. They'd play games and put on little plays and I used to think how wonderful it was that they all got along so well. I would imagine the days when they'd all be in college and home for breaks and how they'd be in each other's weddings. And it came true for all of them ... except my daughter. My daughter's world if very narrow: her doofus boyfriend, pot,getting drunk, the next tatoo, working as little as possible, meeting guys on craiglist... that's about it. i wanted os much more for her.... and I don't mean I wanted her to accomplish more ...I wanted (still want) her to LIVE more. I wanted her to stay tightly bound in that pack of cousins ... in this family that loves her .. and wanted to see her enjoy her life. Dash [/QUOTE]
