Cat allergies, did I do the right thing?

Gave my cat to my daughter, well it was her cat originally, am feeling sad and guilty...will the cat be okay?

I'll try to lay this out simply. I have had cat/dog allergies for years. In 2012 my friend was getting a kitten who had a litter mate who was adorable. Around that time I heard Zyrtec was great for allergies especially pet allergies. My daughter (then a teenager) is a cat lady lol...after much discussion I decided I'd give this cat a new home....when my daughter moved out she was going to take her but at the time she moved (she would be living with two roommates)....so the cat stayed with me and she became very attached to me. My daughter bought a home a few years ago and I couldn't give up the cat yet, I was going through the loss of my Mom and couldn't take much more. I should add that over the last 6 years I was diagnosed with glaucoma which has been manageable but I have severe dry eye....after some research and a lot of thought I came to the decision to give the cat to my daughter. I read that allergy meds cause dryness in eyes etc. plus I've had a few breathing issues if I don't take the allergy meds routinely. Yesterday I dropped her off and I as I know it's the right thing I feel guilty but deep inside I know my health has to come first. I do miss her and she lives a block away, I can visit....did I make the right decision. I'm alone now.
