Hi.

I am sorry to hear about your mom's stroke but happy that you have been able to improve your relationship with her. Sometimes after a stroke, I have heard that there can be some personality changes, sometimes for the better. Do you think that might be at play here too? Regardless of the cause, I am glad you have the opportunity to interact with her in more positive ways.
What are you doing to keep the past at bay and hw are you coping with all of the changes?
