Dear Queenie,
My daughter quit school to get a job. Now she goes to night school and she’ll get a diploma, but I’ll never see her at a graduation ceremony.
She also has a boyfriend in another country and wants to go there to be with him so I’ll never see my grandchildren if they ever have any kids, because I can’t travel there.
Queenie, how can I accept all this?—Deprived mother
Dear Mother,
Your daughter is completing her high school education and could very well go on to get a university education. And if/when she has children, even if you cannot travel to where they live, she can bring them to visit you. So, try to look on the bright side and count your blessings.
