I saw part of the interview with Larry Fitzgerald. I was wondering if I heard it right so I am glad to hear that the word estrangement was actually used on TV. I do hope his admission of regret will help someone to have a better relationship with their parents. I read later that is why he has long hair because it reminds him of his mother when he sees himself in a mirror. I heard his dad say he just tells him to remember his mother loved him and not dwell on the estrangement. Isn’t that what we would all want. I hope his story does help someone. 
I have followed many stories on here but have never commented before. Today I need some support. My twin sister has just been diagnosed with colon cancer. In an effort to keep her mind off of her health problems we went to a play this weekend. It felt so good to laugh and have some fun and then the play ended with a song about a quilt. They sang how a family is stitched together with love and nothing can rip it apart. I ended up crying as it finished. I can’t even go to a play without being reminded of the estrangement with my son. And then the next day estrangement is talked about at the Super Bowl. I know there is little chance to reconcile with my son. How do I let him go so these unexpected reminders don’t throw me into a tailspin?
