Merry Christmas!

 

Both my parents are gone. I didn't talk to either for 8 years because of a falling out. When I did contact my brother (every couple of years) I found my mom had passed the year before. I immediately called my dad who didn't even recognize my voice. We talked. Until he also passed, about 10 years later, I called every week and drove 3K miles to visit at least every other year. We would spend a week together, walking and talking, or just sitting in the sun. I have that.

Call someone.

 

Maybe that brother you haven't seen in years. Or your Dad you don't talk to, or that old friend you just 'lost contact with'. Call your Mom. Reach out. It's not a sign of weakness or admission or acknowledgement of anything to wish them well. Forget your differences. One or two minutes is all you need. Do it while you can, because when they are gone.... you have lost the opportunity forever. Don't just read this... do it.

Just got off the phone to my ex wifes dad, we were best mates and havent spoken for 13 years.

 

Thanks mike.

Sometimes we just fall out of touch and it's hard to reconnect because there's that having to explain awkwardness. Christmas wishes are always welcome. Doesn't have to be a long call but be prepared to sit and talk. I called two buddies, one I've known since '69 the other '72. Been almost a year. Good to hear their voices.
