Of course she should go.

I used to fight with my mother. We grew up in a very bad relationship. It didn't even begin to get better until 1995, when my ex-fiance left.

Since then I have worked hard on building a new relationship with my mother, one that works. One that we can enjoy and cherish throughout the years to come, and so that neither of us have any regrets in the end... whenever it comes.

Beautifully written, Rand.
