Start writing that apology note. In your own best handwriting, not typed on the computer.

Im on it.. I asked my family if we could go and talk with her, because our families haven't met yet.

That's a good idea too, but don't just drop in.

Who is in your family?

My two sisters, giselle & yinnette, my brother jorge, and my mother is ana. That's all. Im chris by the way.

Hola, Chris! I'm Carol.

Does anyone in your family speak Spanish, so you could maybe throw in a closing sentence in Spanish?

They all speak spanish, I do as well , but its pretty beat up. Where from puerto rico, and her family is from honduras.

Take some empanadas along on the visit -- or send some to me?

Hahaha, okay. I learned how to make those when I was like 5 have been eating them ever since so it's funny you mention that. That's a pretty good idea. Thanks.

My Colombian friend Barlaham's wife makes ones I could eat every day.

Nice, well I guess I could do that. My brother is 22, my sister giselle is 24 , and my sister yinette is 28 , my mother ana is 48 . Just thought you should know. My family is a bunch of adults with their own families.

Okay. Get busy now writing that note. If you want to post all or part of it, we will advise you. And be sure to let us know how things are going.

I will. Thanks for everything :)

And thank you for being so mature about this and being willing to discuss this. ;)
