Great post. I hope this doesn’t come off wrong, but that sounds like a movie…or a novel…the story is incredible.

Of course, it isn’t a story to you, it is your life and you have been impacted by it. I’m glad your grandmother was such a great presence in your life though, and I’m also honored that my post inspired you to share this with us!

A child should never have to feel like he/she doesn’t mean anything to his/her parents. It’s amazing that your grandmother ended up so well rounded.

That’s heartbreaking, that someone could be unloved by their own mother, but it is amazing that your grandmother was able to give love to her own children and grandchildren despite her upbringing. We blame a lot on environment, and it certainly is a huge factor in a child’s outcome, but some people have spirits that are stronger than their circumstances.

I know you are always worried that the girls will think of you the way you think of your mom, but just think about your grandmother – her mother was horrible to her, and yet, she was an amazing person in your life. Your mother is the same, and look how differently you already treat your girls.

You’re awesome!!

I’m amazed that some people can be so hard. I guess your Grandma was soft and loving enough both to be hurt by it, and to be the wonderful person who showed love to you:)
