My Daughter Finally Came Home After Years Apart

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.
Dear Fr. Marco, I sent you a prayer for my daughter Cassandra. We hadn't spoken in nearly five years. I asked for a softening of hearts and for healing in our family. I was carrying so much sorrow. After you carried my prayer to St. Peter's, I felt a quiet sense of peace. A few weeks later, my daughter called. It was hesitant at first, but she has been calling regularly now. Last month, she came to visit for the first time since the falling out. We are talking. We are rebuilding. It feels fragile, but it feels like a beginning. I don't know why now, after all this time, but I am so grateful she is back in my life. Thank you for taking my prayer to that holy place.
