What did he say?

He seems to want to get back in touch with me, and wanted to know my side of why we haven't talked for a year.

It was pretty hard to write up. I'm kinda stressed out now about it.

good for him for initiating it and good for you for responding. I've had family members not talk to me for years and never say why.

Sorry, I've been gone since... well, right before you posted this. :/

I'm pleasantly surprised that he's done that, though, and I hope that things go okay from here.
