My eyes are filled with tears of joy right now. This morning my niece for whom I haven't seen or spoken to in 8 years accepted my friend request. We chatted for a little bit and has many questions for me, which I'll be happy to answer for her but she had to go to school so later today we'll reconnect and hopefully rebuild our relationship. More good news is my sister also sent me a friend request yesterday and I accepted it.
Just goes to show if you hold fast to your beliefs and stay consistent family just might come back around.
