[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 642935, member: 17720"] Oh RE, what an absolutely beautiful post. My eyes welled up too, about all of it. Honestly, you had me at husband giving him the guitar strings! Your daughter has just been quietly doing good, being somebody's angel for a little while, somebody who might not feel safe turning to anyone else. How wonderful that you got to see that. What a Christmas gift. I wrote on another thread that my son's trip, while definitely NOT being something I could ever imagine doing, has led me to try to do a little less controlling and a little more adventuring. I think maybe it's a similar thing. It's so nice to just see them for a little while as people, instead of projects! It doesn't negate all the crapola they've put us through, but it does help so much to just not make that the focus of the relationship! [/QUOTE]
