Dinah-
Yes, it was wonderful and caring! And I know I am so very lucky, even when, like today, I want more. I'm grieving the mom I never had and she's away (just two days, I didn't even miss an appt- just know about it) taking her daughter to the class trip prior to her starting college. I so wish I had that mom- one who's heart is aching at the transition, one who can feel that, show/share love... Anyway, I digress... but thank you for reminding me how wonderful and caring she is even when I want MORE!
And I wholly concur with the whole self thing. Sometimes it feels harder... but in the end, I think you're right, it's easier, because it's more you, and probably much more fulfilling. My hope is that someday it is actually *easier* because we don't have to think about what parts are "OK" for any given time. Being *whole* and *you* is just who we love you for...
Thanks for sharing your whole self with us...
