Philadelphia, Pa.Former educator, single, grown child, a grandmother, parent living with me.
I only had one child and was absolutely thrilled to be a mother. I had little in means, but gave all I could for my child before providing for myself. Somewhere in my child’s teenage years, a slow movement of separation from me began. As my child grew up independent, months and sometimes years would pass by with little to no communication. I felt bad, but tried my best to place it aside and live my life.
When my first grandchild was born, I was only able to see the child once at age 2 weeks, I have never been allowed to return. I was not invited to their wedding. I was in an emotional state beyond anything I had ever experienced in my life. It hurt so deeply to be cut off and that the other side of the family was the important family.
Nine months from the wedding date, I bought the book, The Magic. I began reading and came to Day 3, Magical Relationships where you collect 3 photos of people you wish to give thanks to. I chose my child, its mate, as well as another who is unrelated. I listed how grateful I was for them in my life, finding ONLY the good things to list.
The very next day, my child’s mate unexpectedly left me a very nice message on Facebook…. and then the flood of communication was flowing!! I got on my knees and bawled like a baby, giving thanks to God, the Universe, and all higher powers….it WAS Magic!!!
