I just hope that if she should ever fall to earth she doesn't have too hard a fall, accompanied by a rude awakening.

I've always believed that I raised her well. She was a very mellow teen...it's almost like she's going through some adolescent behavior now. Her husband absolutely adores her, which is wonderful, but - yes - he spoils her and she loves it.

I am extremely proud of her. I also realize that she truly is overworked and very tired and cranky most of the time. I'm trying not to take her behavior personally, but it is hard, because the way she behaves toward me is darn hurtful.


However: I hope the same. That when life inevitably throws her a really nasty curve ball she doesn't fall to pieces. If she does fall to pieces and it happens while I'm still living on this earth, it will be me she calls, that's for sure.

Thank you very much for your reply, em.
