I'm so saddened by the way your relationship with your mother has turned out, but at the same time..you've learned some invaluable lessons. You seem to be a fantastic mother and I know you're an irreplaceable grandmother, so you've taken what was done to you and turned it into something very positive.

It does sound like you learned a lot from her. I hope one day she does read this and that it brings tears to her eyes, knowing that so much time was lost with you and how wonderful of a relationship you two can have. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, it just makes me sad, Sandy, because I know what a wonderful friend and person you truly are.<BR/><BR/>HUGSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-77340656482873068332008-05-06T15:35:00.000-05:002008-05-06T15:35:00.000-05:00Your story with your mother breaks my heart everyt...Your story with your mother breaks my heart everytime you write about it. And I applaud your attitude.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I told you, but BN's Dad and his Father had a rift when BN was 19 and they never spoke to each other again and they never will. BN's grandfather died a few years ago and we found out two years after it happened! <BR/><BR/>Even though I faithfully sent cards with family info and pictures to a grandfather I never met, he never once inquired about his grandson. All because of an issue with his own son. The grandkids and greatgrandkids suffered from it.<BR/><BR/>A sad loss of time and family. Glad to hear your Mother treats your kids so well. Hope you two work it out before it is too late.<BR/><BR/>~RRobinellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117261185781086419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-80881385109008559642008-05-06T13:13:00.000-05:002008-05-06T13:13:00.000-05:00Wow, it says a lot about you as a person that your...Wow, it says a lot about you as a person that your mother is still your hero despite everything.Aoj and The Lurchershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509080861414248189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-62920937460656595742008-05-06T10:00:00.000-05:002008-05-06T10:00:00.000-05:00*wiping a tear away*Sandy, is the story of your mo...*wiping a tear away*<BR/><BR/>Sandy, is the story of your mother disowning you, in your archives?<BR/><BR/>It's lovely you can still see beauty amongst things...xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-9261573165207051452008-05-06T00:31:00.000-05:002008-05-06T00:31:00.000-05:00I was blessed -- my mom was loving as well as all ...I was blessed -- my mom was loving as well as all those other things.

But let me share something with you.<BR/>My dad I had been on outs for years, 3 years before he passed, he came close to dieing. He had 6 hours, his body was shutting down. While I was in the room his bells started going off. I screamed, "God Please! Just let me know if my daddy loves me and that he is right with you!" They pulled me out of his room. 20 minutes later they came and told me he was a wake. I walk to his bed and the 1st words he saidwas, " Baby I love you and I'm where God wants me to be" I left his room ready to accept him dieing. But he didn't. He lived 3 more years. During that time he and I made mends and he made a difference in many lives by doing God's work. This came from a man who drank everyday of my life, till the last 3 years.<BR/>I hope I don't hurt you by sharing this with, but I just felt like I needed to.<BR/>Even if you don't get the mends, at least you can ask God to guide you and lead you!kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049382336915982813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-1811319941209504482008-05-05T21:58:00.000-05:002008-05-05T21:58:00.000-05:00I have been gone all day and am just now able to r...I have been gone all day and am just now able to read some blogs.

I could probably have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars if I were as frugal as she is. She grew up during WWII and depression and food stamps.
