ant,
How wonderful to hear about you and your beloved daughters.
Small steps.
Right direction.
They're coming back. They'll be back.
Be open to letting them do so at their own pace and in their own way.
Great news.

Peace

Gardener

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
