If you don't call you'll continue to grow distant. Be the change you want to see. Reconnect. Life is too short.

So much this. I reconnected with my dad after 10 years. We both can be stubborn. And all it took was sending an email. It took some time and things were a little awkward at first. But since, we've really made amends. He attended my wedding and now it's to the point where we visit one another a handful of times a year. We talk on the phone at least monthly and text often. I'm really glad I decided to send that email that day. Can't imagine if I hadn't.

I'm really happy for you both!
