I cannot believe I haven't responded here yet. Please excuse me but I am sick yet AGAIN. My eyes are watering and I keep sneezing. Apparently, my brain is not working well and I cant remember what I did.

I wanted to say I am so glad it's over and hoping you are feeling o.k. and that she learned something from this horrible experience.

Sending lots of hugs...

"Well-behaved women rarely make history ..."

I was telling my dh last night that I could not have survived this without my friends and that includes all of YOU. Whenever I get down I re-read these posts and it helps me remember that I did the right thing in supporting dd in her decision. Dh brought dd some flowers to plant and I gave her a "memory stone". We are going to plant them today in the memory garden I made for my mother. She has pretty much recovered now. Fiance is coming to get her this weekend and take her and her stuff to Texas. I am planning to have a LONG talk with him about responsibility!

Planting in the memory garden was such a touching gesture. I'm sure your DD will be forever grateful for your non-judgemental support of her throughout this ordeal. You are very special parents.

Diane, that is so touching, I agree with Lynne! You two are very special parents. What a lucky gal your dd is.

I just love the memory garden..that is so cool.

As an aside, I laughed sort of when I read you were planting TODAY. It's about 9 degrees here and the snow is flying. I guess Alabama is a tad warmer?

LOL, Heather. I hope it was a better day there for planting. I wouldn't have wanted to do that here either. What a great idea.

I am very inspired. We may not always agree with the choices our kids make, but if we walk them through the good and the bad, I have to believe that there will be rewards down the road. It sounds like you have a very good relationship with your daughter. She trusts you.

And you are an amazing mom!
