Okay, for once I have good news to tell everyone. I got a letter in the mail the other day. It was from my Mom, whom I haven't talked to in almost 4 years. At first, I didn't know what to do with it. After some serious thought though, I decided to call her. I'm really glad that I did. Even though her and I haven't had what you would call any type of real relationship, I always wanted her in my life and now I am getting that chance. I have been on the phone with her for about four and a half hours now and I think that we have made some really great progess toward having a good relationship. I will admit though, that I still have my doubts, but I'm not going to let that come between me and my Mom. I don't want to lose her again.
