I lost my mom two years ago and it still aches.<BR/><BR/>Please remember (and I am like a broken record in saying this) that the child you adopt will be your own. S/he will carry on your family's legacy just as my Zizi is carrying on her grandmother Ericka's legacy.Teendochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351506731552454057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-35961245799161431852007-10-23T07:41:00.000-07:002007-10-23T07:41:00.000-07:00I think Lori said it best.

Your wistfulness about not being able to give her a grandchild of her blood is something I understand so well. I long to know how my parents traits might have manifested themselves, too. The best I have is a vivid imagination, and I work it! They are some pretty amazing children. (Uh, that sounds quite deranged - bragging in imaginary kids. There's got to be a post in that.)<BR/><BR/>And, I'm glad your back is on the mend!Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-21511864449140718842007-10-22T21:14:00.000-07:002007-10-22T21:14:00.000-07:00I have not yet been in the position of needing to ...I have not yet been in the position of needing to care physically for my parents. But I have a lot of respect for people who are in that situation. It must be very difficult to watch a parent lose the capacity to care for themselves. <BR/><BR/>I think it is nice that you have found a different, sweeter relationship with your mother through all this.Schatzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197247859459483613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-58805965540133783102007-10-22T14:25:00.000-07:002007-10-22T14:25:00.000-07:00I have so much grey in my hair.

I wish I had some great advice or solution to give you. (I don't).<BR/><BR/>All I can say is, I know where you are.
