I guess we all go through that. I wish I kept in touch better than I do. I think of her all the time, it is just trying to get some alone time to talk on the phone. Glad things are going better for Cheryl and your daughter in CA. Is that the one with all the kids??Lowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014088685507756473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10017930.post-11061985069795979822007-05-16T10:51:00.000-07:002007-05-16T10:51:00.000-07:00I have a daughter who calls her mother on a regula...I have a daughter who calls her mother on a regular basis. She lives in California and we are in Idaho. When she was at home they did not have that great of a relationship but it has blossomed into a very special one now, even though they don't see each other. Thank goodness for modern communication.The Ramblin Irishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818968738493575940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10017930.post-70601307929747182562007-05-15T22:38:00.000-07:002007-05-15T22:38:00.000-07:00I've lived long distance from my mother for the la...I've lived long distance from my mother for the last 15 years. I don't mind it - we stay in touch pretty easily with phone and email. But I think when I have kids someday, that I'll wish to be closer to her or some other family members for the same reason - so my kids can know their relatives and their roots.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear you had such a lovely Mother's Day. Being greeted with your favorite morning brew is such a simple but great pleasure, isn't it?Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536513710855289078noreply@blogger.com
