29. We were making some chocolate chip oatmeal cookies this afternoon-
I can't eat them because they are WAYYYY too sweet. They have caramel on top. She was chit chatting away, and I asked her "Did I upset you when we talked?"

She said "No, it's fine mom. Me, friend and friend 2 were talking about our recent events in class and that marriage thing they shot down in California. Don't worry, it won't stay like that."

It took everything I had not to cry, I just simply said "I love you punkinseed."

I didn't know what to say, but she's so much more vibrant and happy, and she didn't disappear when she went to talk on the phone tonight- she sat smack in the living room visiting away with Friend.


I guess I panicked because I know how my Grandmother treated my two uncles, and I don't want to unintentionally make my little girl think or feel in any way the way my Grandmother did to them. The one that went home to pass away, she didn't go stay with him/visit even though he was terminal.

Camps/therapists for something like this ...to "cure" it? I can't wrap my mind around doing something like that. You don't "cure" your height, you don't "cure" your eye color, or your melanin count. It just doesn't make sense to me.

:hug: Thank you btw, very much. I value and admire honest opinions.
