[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised by a wonderful, amazing and loving single mother (I know who my biological father is but have never met him) and was an only child.  My Mom was killed in an accident when I was 16 and I became a foster kid living with one of my high school teachers.  Through high school, a stint in the army, college, law school and graduate school I made lots of friends, three in particular who are like sisters to me.  And I married the greatest, most loving man in the world.  But it wasn't until I had my baby that I felt the greatest pangs of grief I have even known for my Mom.  I never wanted her to be with me more than when I was a new mother.

So I understand how you would want your parents near you now, OP.  But, like so many things in life, sometimes it helps to remember that someone (me) would give their right arm to have their mother on the other side of the country rather than gone forever.  [/quote]

I'm truly sorry for your loss, PP.  And forgive me for asking, but why haven't you ever met your biological father?  I'm guessing your parents divorced and your father took off - are you still mad at him?  [/quote]
