I feel as though I'm doing an immense amount of slow, heavy work today. I've just started what I hope to be the first real communication with my mother in years, and have a sneaking suspicion that I will try the same with my long silent father, as well.

I hope your communication efforts bring what you're looking for. Congratulations on being able to do some difficult things.

It probably won't go well, and I may not even get a reply, but I said some things I needed to say for a long time. I'm trying to think of that as enough.

Careful not to wed yourself to the outcome. From my experience, expectations can often breed devestating disappointment...

Yeah, that's why I'm trying to focus on the fact that I did it. Even if my mother never replies or mentions it, I did it, and that counts for something.

It counts toward having the courage to get your truth out there.

Here's hoping it bears the added bonus of productive fruit...
