As I say, when I am tempted to return to my mother for comfort and caring, a hug and an "I love you," the well is dry. She simply doesn't have anything to give, or I am certain she would.
I guess it is a form of forgiveness. But memories are forever. We even have an odd, prescient communication. She always seems to know when I am suffering; yet I live a country away, at the end of it, too. We don't call each other often. I don't question the connection. It goes beyond a mother-daughter relationship, and is more primal even than that. It's almost cultural, in a paganistic way. (I am rambling now.) I do treasure it, but I don't rely on it.
