Thanks Annicita, I've come to terms with it all a long time ago. I miss her, but I'm not angry with her any more. I was able to get some closure when I took care of her. I'm alright now. She passed in '03, so it's been awhile.

Re:
Thanks Jay, I actually had the chance to come to terms with it all during my mom's illness. She was diagnosed with cancer July 7, 2003 and I cared for her until she passed on September 19, 2003. I was there when she passed and was able to tell her I loved her, I forgave her, and I would make sure my brother and sister were okay. She curled up on this big body pillow she had, nodded her head, said she loved me too, then closed her eyes and never opened them again. In the end I think we had an understanding and I was glad to have been able to be there for her, she was my mom, for better or worse, she's what God gave me and or I was what God gave her, which ever way you want to look at it. I'm not angry with her anymore and I know she's watching out for me. There are still times I wish I could call her on the phone and let her know what's going on with me, or ask her advice on things and I do miss her. As an adult we became close. She was a great grandmother to my kids which I was very greatful for and I know she had many regrets. She died with those regrets. I had closure in knowing I did everything in my power to help her and be there for her in the end like I wished she had been there for me when I was younger. I believe that I went through all the turmoils in my life to make me strong for that moment. Had I not lived the life i lived I would not have had the strength to deal with the doctors, hospitals and insurance companies nor would I have had the emotional strength to help her deal with the fact that she was dying. Thanks again for your comment and support Jay.

I do not believe that it is ever "too late" to tell your mother that you love her. She is closer than you think and she will always love you unconditionally. Write her a letter, tell her that you love her. She will hear you...I promise.

Re: I guess this must be a familiar story about daughters and their mothers.
Hey 2902, not only mothers and daughters but mothers and son's too. I have two sons 15 & 18, it's not different, except for that my boys aren't nearly as wild as I was at their ages, but then again, I'm NOT my mother. I tell my boys I love them everyday and when they were younger instead of hitting them when I was angry, I would smother them with kisses...Lol...they hated it! 
Now they're taller than me and out weigh me, it's just harder to reach their little faces, they're still my babies though. I tell them they'll be my babies even when they're 80 yrs old with kids of their own. Haha! they hate that too! Oh well, that's just the way it goes! Hehe!

Re:
Probably every parent with teenagers can relate to this story. The times and the faces change but the scenarios stay pretty much the same. Lol. (eye roll)
