Judy, I'm glad you got all your feelings out... sometimes just writing it all out or telling someone is half the weight. Your daughter is an adult, she can make her own decisions. I know it must tear you apart, but hopefully she will realize soon that she only gets one mother, and people don't live forever.
You're a wonderful person, and to tell you the truth, I look up to you! I feel that you're such a strong woman, and you know what you want, and you go for it. You have gotten out of bad relationships and you're okay with being single. I'm usually asked by older women "Do you have a boyfriend? When are you getting married?" As a single(ish) woman, I have a lot of respect for other woman who are comfortable enough with themselves to not NEED a man. I understand being lonely, and I hope you can find a companion who will fill an empty spot in your life. Until then, you have your adorable furbabies and all the women here who love you!
