That's really good news. I'm happy for your brother and uncle.

I bet your uncle would love to hear from you too. He'd probably be thrilled to learn he was your favorite uncle while growing up, if he doesn't already know.

Somewhere loyalty plays a role in carrying forward relationships.
What was the reason for the bad blood? Was it that your unclw was being unscrupulous and had eyes on some ancestral property which your mom wanted to protect for your future. Just an example. Can be many other reasons.
You need to respect your moms judgement. No need to be a blind follower. But i feel you should be more pragmatic than the favorite childhood uncle reason.

He can be again. Don't postpone it.
My wife Margaret did not get along with a younger sister: I have no idea why. But her sister joined a Zoom broadcast of the funeral service, at least for awhile.

Life is too short to hold grudges.

Before you do that, you need to figure out what all the bad blood was about. If it had nothing to do with you personally, then there shouldn't be any issue with you making contact with him and picking up where you two left off years ago.
