After not seeing or hearing from her 18 year old daughter since she she was 12 (6 years ago), Mealinda reconnected via email with her daughter Roberta who now lives in Whitehorse, Yukon. Over the past 5 months, they have corresponded a few times and Mealinda has asked for and received Roberta's forgiveness. And two days after Christmas, Mealinda received the best Christmas gift ever when Roberta came all the way from Whitehorse to visit! Over the past 9 days, Mealinda and Roberta have been inseparable - cooking, shopping, chatting, and even having sleepovers. Roberta even came to the group and shared her inspirational story with the sisters. Today, Mealinda has been clean and sober for 2 months and 4 days and she credits reconnecting with her daughter for the sobriety and stability she now has. Roberta is so happy to have her mother back in her life and doesn't want to leave and return to the Yukon. It has been the merriest of Christmases and happiest of New Year's for both.
