My Estranged Daughter Reached Out After Years

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you asking for prayers for my daughter and me. We hadn't spoken in over five years. The silence was so heavy. I asked your team to carry a prayer for reconciliation, for a softening of her heart and for my patience. I sent the prayer card with her name and a simple request for healing between us. Last week, completely unexpectedly, she sent me a text message. It was just to say hello, to ask how I was. It seems like such a small thing, but for me, it was everything. We have talked a few times since. It's slow going, and there's a lot of hurt to work through, but the door is open again. Thank you for carrying my hope into that holy place when I had so little left.
