The only solution is to tell yourself that you did everything you could for all those years. She knew how much you loved her even if she was not able to relate that to you. My mama died in 1967 and those thoughts try to creep up sometimes and then I remember the little note she gave me many years before that about how I was her sunshine. I hang onto that.Carol Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636572823921110416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309987088445498701.post-59879876905601277322019-03-11T12:29:52.886-07:002019-03-11T12:29:52.886-07:00I've been doing this since momma died.

If only I hadn't left that day, if only I had said more, if only I had been a better daughter etc, etc, etc. Would that have changed anything no, I just don't know why we do this to ourselves!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882680189860873105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309987088445498701.post-26050861292002271062019-03-11T09:13:45.244-07:002019-03-11T09:13:45.244-07:00Really happy it spoke to you, Traci!
