I like what Ruth Graham said: "Make the most of all that comes, and the least of all that goes." I guess you just love on them for those few moments when and if they show up at your door ... making the most of those moments.... and then letting go, again.... and praying .... Perhaps that is our unconditional expression of love to them ... and in their absence, we pray. Maybe they aren't capable of giving to us ... or maybe they are, but choose not to. It's between them and God I guess.
To me, it's learning how to let go of what we can't control or change ... and enjoying and loving in the moments that we are given, with those who we do have access, regardless if it's one minute or more.... It's a process I guess....

Thank you so much , everyone who responded. So many thoughtful responses, i cant tell you how much that means to me! You are a blessing to me. I do pray that I can hear His still small voice luke....amen!.....and everloving..yes, the yo yo treatment. I'm dizzy from the up and down of it all! Literally...i developed inner ear problems and pain in my ear this week. Physically i am run down..........I am trying to rest and will have a quiet New Years Eve......poodlegirl thank you for your words. I am so happy your situation is going so well and you will get to see the grandkids....................................I do believe that my daughter is not "permitted" by her husband to visit me except for short periods of time. He is a controlling nasty man.....I am praying God removes him from her life. Is that right? i dont know....I dont believe either one of them can be healthy if they remain together........although i wish him no harm. i just wish him to go away!. Since this first boyfriend now husband came into her life around 15 years ago its been hell....Drug overdoses. He has been in jail multiple times. Living in dumps. Living who knows where, i would lose total contact . She seems clean, the baby is healthy. I have no idea if he is off drugs or not. He does work, something he never did before.....but his way of life, the controlling, the lies, the manipulation...is still there. AA would call them "dry drunks"........I thought that was an absurd thought until i saw it myself.......Even when off substances they still have the same mindset....that being I can get what i want from you, dismiss you like a piece of dirt i scraped off the bottom of my shoe or whatever. I am disposable to them........I rest in God.........i can do nothing else...Thank you all
