I understand this poem perfectly. Even though our daughters are part of us, they are unique individuals. Sometimes horns lock between mothers and daughters, and foolish "quiet" ensues. Great job, Mary.

Hugs,
Anna

I'm happy to hear that you are on better terms with your daughter ... and she with you. You have so much to give one another. Glad to hear your granddaughter is recovered ... I can only imagine what you both went through. Cheers for all of you!
Your poem says it all so well! Susan

AMEN to that- it is so sad when this happens within families, because life is SO short, and we never know from one day to the next. My brother who passed away in April was literally here today and gone tomorrow, so I am glad he and I had always been very close and shared things, because at least I have that now to remember him by. Very powerful write.

'Words Unspoken' it is so true that silence is not always golden, and more often than not we learn from our children as they so eagerly forgive and therefore are able to lead the way. Blessings, Holly

Well said, Mary. When the thing people love most is jeopardized, the differences that had seemed so large are swallowed up in a common need.

Mary,
This has resonance and meaning for so many families and individuals and the humility and true strength necessary to say 'sorry' sadly absent. It's often only at times of grief that hearts are reconciled.

I have experienced this personally Mary Lacey in my own family. Pride is a queer force. No one escapes its tentacles in this world. But when something greater than pride comes along (love) it can never stand!
