My brother and I talked this evening

He says that he's been talking to our uncle (mom's brother) since Mom died. Our mom and uncle had been estranged for years before she died this year (lots of bad blood between all of us in the past). So my brother reached out to tell our uncle the news of her death, and that has lead to my brother and uncle trying to form a friendship again. The uncle and his wife took my brother to dinner for his birthday two days ago, which is a really nice sign. He told me our uncle asked about me too, and that has me thinking about trying to get in touch with him myself. 🤔

He used to be my favorite uncle when I was a kid and teen, and I really have missed him.
