Cherish the time you get with your daughter. I unfortunately know that feeling of missing out about not have her with you everyday. Plus the area you are living in making you sick. Hard thing for a mother to admit. Long ugly story. I have a great relationship with her so things can work. I'm proof. At least phones take pictures now LOL.
Hope your trip back goes well. I'm sure you'll see your beach again. Next time you'll have your daughter with you. She is going to want to see where dad lived. :)
