Reconciliation

My cousin and I had a spat several years ago. I wasn’t in my right mind when that happened. She took it to heart and wouldn’t forgive me. When I had money, I consulted a nurse practitioner who was good at behavioral services. I didn’t tell him about the spat. But he changed my medicine and now I’m feeling free and bright. To think that I was on this med that he changed for years on end and it made me feel dim and down, the new med made a big difference.

So I wrote my cousin for several months asking for forgiveness. I didn’t get a reply. But she sent us gifts of money for our Christmas presents. Yet, she didn’t attach a word for me. So I decided to send her emails telling her stories about how I’m doing and hoping that she’ll relent after reading these regalingstories of my life currently. I told her about my fall and my subsequent recovery. I think she softened a bit after a while.

A few days ago, I received an email from her. Her email had a light hearted tone to it. She forgave me, not in so many words, but in her tone. I’m so grateful to God for this development.
