Robin,
    Too many young people have forgotten that their parents gave them the 
very essence of life, and to turn their back on them is regretful.  My 
parents aren't the most joyous people to be around, no were they the best of 
parents, but then who determines what is the best.  They did the best they 
could with the information they had available at the time.....so bygones are 
bygones.
    Glad to know your Mom is doing better all the time....sounds to me like 
she has a good doctor to care for her, and a daughter that is there to keep 
watch.
                               Patti
