[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 636707, member: 17542"] Aloha, RE! (:wink:) In just thinking about this, it occurs to me that this happens to us, we parents of difficult children, to PCs, to all people. By the skin of our teeth we miss the opportunity, the chance, the next great thing, the bus. If only we'd been there 5 minutes earlier... It's just with difficult children, the consequences seem so much more devastating to us (and sometimes to them) as their world is so very different from ours. It's her journey, as you well know, RE. Who knows what good thing will come from this? That doesn't take away the fear. That doesn't take away the sadness. I so get that. I love that you said: "allow". But even this, another round of devastation that we allow to enter our lives, even this helps us move forward, to a new place of being. We learn something else, yet again. Perfect words. You were so very sorry. That is the goal, the prize, the place I think we all would be better off getting to, somehow, someway. We would be free then. It sounds like you are there RE. I hope so, and I hope it lasts. But even if it doesn't, you'll discover a new level of acceptance at the right time for you. So cool and wonderful---two weeks in paradise. That is great. Your precious daughter just has to walk her own path. Whatever, however, no matter what. Yes, I believe this too. I really do. It is the single thought and belief that gets me through. Knowing at my core that all will be well. It is as it should be. God is in charge. Thank you for sharing this, RE. And I so hope you have the most wonderful time of your life in Hawaii. [/QUOTE]
