Oh, Kathy, this tugs at my heart strings so hard. I can't tell you how many times I've pondered these same issues and ideas in my own life. Being a parent is by far the hardest thing I've ever done, and I agonize over doing it properly, but I also know it has made me an infinitely better person having gone through it.
You worded my own feelings so beautifully and succinctly. I am in tears right now, because I totally understand what you mean. Sarah is such a lucky girl, and you are such a lucky mom. I want you to know, despite all the challenges you've had becoming the woman who you are today, it is to your mother's loss that she is missing out on one of the best people I've ever known. You are such a lovely person, and I'm grateful to have you in my life. <3

But seriously, that was awesome. I hope you save that somewhere so you can show it to her someday when it's the right time.
Been missing you...but am mostly in hermit mode. I hope it goes away a bit now that the kids are older, but I tend in that direction anyway.
