Late to this but firmly believe that some things cannot be heard often enough.
You are an amazing mother to your daughters, and you share that with us, even when you don't think you're doing such a great job. I love my mother very much even if we do have our differences, and your stories help me understand a little more what it must have been like to parent me. You burst with pride when you tell us about the wonderful things they did and how lovely they're turning out (my mother never did that, Asians don't brag), but you're also re honest about your struggles and frustrations. Like all good writers, by sharing pieces of yourself you help us all to understand ourselves better.
This was not coherent but I'm posting it anyway because I think you need to hear that you are a very valued presence in many lives, including mine. We've never met, but if I ever lost your thoughtfulness and wisdom and humanity from my flist, I'd feel the gap.
