You actually sound like the perfect mom. You taught your daughters responsibility and with that came independence. You gave them what they needed and showed them how to do it. The fact they are spread out now shouldn’t really make too much of a difference. Far or near, they'd be doing the same kinds of things, using the values and lessons you taught them. You may not physically speak with them as much as you would like, but I’m sure they think about you and your well being as you do for them. No, there should be absolutely no regrets here. I think you do did fine and you’re a-ok.
Thank you, Ken. You said exactly what I needed to hear today --that near or far, they would still be using the values and lessons I taught them. I can't begin to thank you enough.
I sometimes believe it's a parent's "duty" to second-guess their self-worth as a parent. As a mother, you want to give your children the sun and the moon and all the stars ---anything less makes us feel inferior! Thank you, Ken!

“ sun and the moon and all the stars “. Sounds a lot like what my mom used to think.
I'm sure she did, Ken.
