@thisismarilynb I hope your appointment goes well, and you take the opportunity to do a few more errands or tasks while you are out. Then treat yourself to something frivolous! Make it your day!
A partially mended rift indicates to me that there is still hope for more positive stuff to happen there. It takes time. It won't all happen at once. "Go with the flow" as they say, and keep an open mind to build on the mending. That's what I did with a family member, whom I have been estranged from for decades. It is a slow process, but it is a process going forward and getting better. Rome wasn't built overnight, and neither are mended relationships.

Yes, the appointment did go well, thank you. I came straight home. Driving an hour (each way) on the freeway doesn't make me want to do anything or go anywhere except home. A friend is coming over in about an hour and we will have a cup of tea. I am not a coffee drinker.
I am not sure there will be any more mending with my son. I believe his wife is behind most of this. He has to live with her, not with me. Every other year we have always gone to them for Thanksgiving. No mention was made this year. Of course I am disappointed but not surprised. At my age don't know how much longer I will be here, although the doctor said I was very good for an old lady.
