This is part of the reason I have made choices in my life not based on my children, as I know children marry, move, have career opportunities and you cannot base your life on where they sit today; nor should you put pressure on them because you did make certain moves based on where you thought they would stay. None the less, heartache takes time to dissipate. A mom is a mom is a mom and a daughter and a mom have a special bond. At least Cassandra and I do.
