The Rest of the Story

Hi people! Well, the KC trip turned out to be life-changing. I saw my parents. The same parents that I haven't talked to in nine years. And...they apologized to me. I can't explain what that meant to me, so I won't even try. Anyway, we're working on a relationship - slowly, but surely. They've changed a lot and so have I. I even got some fatherly advice from my dad for the first time in my life.

It meant almost as much as the apology.

Love,
Babs

Wow, I some how always assumed there was death and/or prison involved in the parental scene.
Good going! R
