You have only told us your feelings not the situation so that’s all we can comment on and I would say follow your heart if you want to send her flowers why don’t you ?
Can it make things any worse ?
I d like to send you some ?
Take care

I feel for you. Not knowing the situation it is impossible to try to give any advice, but I cannot imagine how awful it must be to be estranged from close family.
Sending warm thoughts.

I've haven't seen my granddaughter for 2 years. I've seen my 7 year old grandson for minutes only during those 2 years. It's a sad story with a long history.
I cannot help but feel for my adult daughter and grandchildren given the unprecedented times and pressures on parents and the toll on our children and grandchildren. But I know she does not want contact and I respect that.
During a weaker moment today I was tempted to send flowers. I send gifts to my grandchildren and they have been accepted. I email first. I am not made of stone and at the end of the day, this is my child.
Just a weak moment I guess.
