And our relationship was...I miss my mother as well. And our relationship was not close at all. She disowned me when I was just getting ready to start med school and withdrew all funds. Thus,she was the catalyst for the hardest 8 years of my life and, by far, the poorest. But, I became incredibly self sufficient and this was a gift, in the long run. She died when I was in my thirties and quite successful. She died of breast cancer and never let me back into her life. But, oddly, I miss her so keenly at times. She was one of the strongest women that I ever knew and probably the reason that I was able to make it on my own. I was just as stubborn as she was and refused to apologize for my life. <br /><br />She is the reason why I am so close to my own daughter, I think. And she still baffles me. I look at my daughter and can't conceive of any reason to stop loving her, to shut her away from me. I always strove to be the mother I wanted to have. <br /><br />I think there is something buried deep within bonding us to our mothers. I see it in abused children and in well loved ones, too. <br /><br />There is a lot written on mother love and I can see why.
