This is so beautiful, and I can really relate to it. My mom is now gone too, and not a day goes by that I don't think about how hard I was on her. In many ways, I was her harshest critic. Only now do I see and understand the pain in her life and that she did the best she could.
It’s such a tender place when we’re able to step back and see our parents at humans with their own pain. Reading your comment made me realize that I was my mother’s harshest critic as well. Thank you for sharing that. I’m really glad you’re part of the community, Denise.
Such a sweet letter. I believe your mom is watching, and beaming with pride over the beautiful, strong, ultra-intelligent and talented woman she raised. I would bet it's been her tapping people like me on the shoulder, whispering, "Look at my Robin. Listen to her. She has something IMPORTANT to say, and you need to hear it."
And maybe now that she knows you're ready to hear from her, you will.
I can’t explain it, but I’ve always wanted to feel as though I was “her Robin.” Reading that really did something to my heart, thank you so much Lori. And I believe she will too - I’m ready now. ❤️
