[quote=Anonymous]I'm really close with my Mom. We butted head when I was in my 20s (I was living a bit of a peripatetic life then), but even then she was interested in what I was doing, listened to me and provided guidance when asked. She occasionally expressed concern for my choices which eventually drove me out of state, but that was temporary. So now here I am 25+ years in DC and I miss being able to swing by for dinner on Sundays or host holidays. I married and had children here, and overall love the area, but miss parts of home. We talk frequently, we have great conversations. None of this is to say that we don't bicker, we do, and she too can be a bit overbearing which exasperates my husband, but she can be told to back off too (and she will and is OK with being told to). She is also my biggest fan - always confident (but not pushy about it) that I can do whatever I really set my mind to and it is wonderful having that kind of person in your life.[/quote]
