qtpi.....it is me...the pesky dandylion that keeps reminding you that it takes time, and that "Leave them alone, and they will come home, wagging their tails behind them" "If they loved you at 6yrs. old, they love you now"
I so agree with the grateful list.....
You do have a lot to be thankful for.....there are so many mothers, out there, who have lost their children to overdose, cancer, tragic accidents, etc....
Your children are still alive and, apparently, healthy....
They are able to support and take care of themselves, in this world....(not all adult children are)....You must have done a good job in preparing them to fly...
You are allowed to take great pride in that...
They have made contact with you...you have gotten "Phone calls"....even if they weren't to your complete satisfaction (yet).....This means that they have you on their minds...and, I say--in their hearts.
They are young with little life wisdom (yet)....and, struggling, in their own way with the family dynamics.....
I see your glass as half full.....
