I am so happy for you and know how much this must mean to you.  I know what it is to be estranged from a child and grandchildren. So heartbreaking.  This is the best news ever!

@LilacTree  Glad to hear it, I wondered about her when you posted your other thread.

Let the 2 daughters work out their own problems - or not.

So happy for you Lilac Tree. 

Maybe there is hope for us yet!

Thank you all for your lovely and encouraging responses.  I usually respond separately, but I am under the weather today.  I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your kindness and your many "hearts!"

@LilacTree   So very happy for you. As you may recall, I too was in a similar estrangement situation with my oldest son.  Well, lo and behold, he made contact with us about a month and a half ago.  It's unfortunate that his marriage is breaking up, however, it made him realize he has his own support network. Still have not met his 2 daughters due to timing etc., but we're working on that so that they can also meet their 2 cousins.  

It's a wonderful feeling. I know my other son is happy, but is having an issue of what happened and no 'apology' has been forthcoming.  I personally don't care ... what's done was done, let's move on.  

Congratulations.

Thank you, and same to you.  You obviously know exactly how I feel because two sons are estranged.  As for me, I know my two daughters will never reconcile.  That is tragic, but after ten years, I am grateful that I can finally have my whole family back, even if it has to be at separate times.  So, yes, we move on.

I am so happy that things are finally working out for you. You have been down a long hard road.
