Heard from my mom...

I heard from my Mom, late on the night I'd sent the e-mails (she's a *very* late riser, and so stays up late). She wrote a note to Allison thanking her for a handmade Valentine, and had a note to me in there as well. She's seeking to come out for a visit in early to mid-May while my dad is on a birding trip elsewhere (planned and paid for, I'm sure), saying she'd LOVE to come, but didn't refer to my e-mail... yet. I suspect I'll hear more when the time is right. She's indicated before that some of my dad's trips are more intense than she cares for, has backed out of a few already - and maybe she saw this as a green light for her, anyway.

I'm going to let them make the next move, whether a phone call or firming up mom's plans for a visit. I know I've done what I needed to do, and truly, a burden has been lifted.

That's great news! Did you confirm that you'd love to have her then?

How silly of me! Yes, I e-mailed her back the day I got her reply, after confirming the dates with Dan, telling her those dates would be great and we'd love to have her out.

I'm so glad it's working itself out... Be patient and it'll get there.

Great news! I hope the best for you and your folks. Allison sure does deserve time with her grandparents, not to mention you time with your parents. I'm hoping your dad will come out too!

Things certainly look better than they did a couple of weeks ago. I hope she follows through with a visit; it would be extra special if your dad would join her, but getting one of them is at least a good start.
