All my thoughts and best wishes go to you vashita ......you must have felt elated when he accepted you on facebook........as you say tread slowly and gently......... I for one will be rooting for you lots of hugs xxx
p.s nice looking young man mmmmm
How wonderful for you Vasti. I truly hope all goes well. Your heart must be soaring.
I often wonder if our children know the awful pain they cause when they cut us off, or worse in some cases, if they care. Yet we still love them dearly and mostly blame ourselves for the estrangement, no matter what. Our children, or some of them, can switch off their love but it is not an option for a mother (or father) It's there to stay.
Enough of that. Just so happy for you.

Hi vashti that is wonderful news, a babies first step is magical so even though this is the first step it still means a lot, vashti this Xmas spirit keeps growing lol . Thinking of u. X Sonia x
As they say the longest journey begins with one step. Good for you Vashti for reaching out and well done him for accepting. Hugs Suz x
Awww, that's lovely Vashti, fingers crossed things go well for you both. x
oh please god, make everything work out, then finish up with the best christmas present you both could have,,, thinking of you both vashti,,, jimmy xxx
Good looking man...yes take it slowly with no remorse for the past look to now and the future...nothing nothing in the past can be changed. Wish you well have a great sob.....x
That's wonderful and a step in the right direction.
Very best luck with this Vashti, hope the future goes well for you. We only get one shot at this life so make the most of it.
Fantastic Enjoy the moment
How good for you ~Vashti, do hope it works out for you. I was the same with my eldest but gradually we are getting better, very slowly and carefully edging round any 'issues'.
He looks like a wonderful person - so glad for you that he accepted your invitation. I reckon parenting is the hardest job in the world...
So pleased for you Vashti but also saddened that so many suffer this same estrangement. As parents we always wonder if it was something we did or didn't do - the old saying that "A mother's place is in the wrong" resonates with all of us at times. I so hope that past hurts can be left in the past where they belong and that the future, for both of you, brings healing and joy.
This happened with my eldest daughter. Still not 'close', but at least we're in touch. Happy for you. xxxx
Grand news. Here's hoping for new beginnings xxxxxx
That's really heart-warming news Vashti. You were given all that was needed to contact him initially and I hope that everything develops at its own pace for the two of you. Great photo too x
