Greg, there's nothing to apologise about - you did nothing wrong or said nothing even slightly offensive. All our hopes are tied in with our children - they're a continuation of our own heart-cords. I'm so glad your daughter is looking forward to the appointment - that IS a good sign. Girls tend to be more willing to open up & discuss things. My son, unfortunately, will discuss nothing with anyone. Sometimes after we've sat together & talked for a few hours, he'll open to me but I don't get to see him much anymore.
There may be setbacks, here & there, but don't give up. The churn of hormones that kids go through entering adult life had much to do with mixed & unsettled feelings - just look at the other end of the spectrum when women go through menopause to understand (just don't let your daughter know - she'll probably be embarassed over the idea). Keep us updated from time to time, or if anything new comes up. We really do care.
