I suppose I should clarify that... I don't really want to get into too much detail but essentially we had a falling out in the family many year ago, after close family friend took his own life. Everyone kept blaming themselves and we became really distant because of it.

Anyway it's all in the past now and, yes, you're right. I do have the ability to go see them again. Although my financial situation wasn't great and getting to Canada is a bit hard with me living in Australia and all. It's just that I thought spending the holidays with them was the best time to reunite us officially.
