Mike had a very welcome facebook message

It's vital to his recovery; family-- Mike misses them all so much, his siblings were everything to him. So, he recieved an unexpected friend request from his estranged sister-in-law. He asked me what he should do, still being quite paranoid, that is. I simply said, except it! Crystal would not ask you unless she wants to have contact with you. He did-- Paul too has contacted him as well, they even talked on the phone! I'm so happy and now not only have they contacted Mike, but Rick as well...still waiting, hoping, wanting to be reunited with them myself, but I'll bide my time, and revel in what gift the boys have recieved. I miss them all terribly, it's been almost ten years. I really want them to know, no matter what, I am and always will be their mom to Paul, and grandma to the children. My heart is conflicted with happiness for the boys and intence saddness for me. I broke down yesterday when Rick came, worried I would be upset that he is connecting with them again-- nope, just heartbroken it's not me as well. I'll wait until my dying days...I just hope they don't wait that long. Life is very short, we must embrace the moments we can, and just love those we hold dear unconditionaly. Well, one more step, one more piece of the puzzle in place-- here's hoping my friends...
