Bon Homme County, South Dakota | I'll give you some perspective from the other side. I was the child that didn't speak to my father for years after I was out of the house. Time does heal. Whatever you did, short of something completely sinister, will get better for her. In this world, you only get one mother and father. She'll remember that more and more everyday. I accepted my father for his faults and whatever pain was caused in younger days by him.
I was only causing further pain not allowing myself that relationship. Reaching out to her won't necessarily help or hurt. If you know an address to send a card, handwritten words really mean something. That is hard to ignore.
When you do get the chance to speak to her in person again, be the best you can be.
