I made an effort to make amends to my ex-wife about 5 or 6 years ago. It was rejected. Now, out of the blue she is open to talking to me. My amends is to be gracious and considerate to her ( things I was definitely not). This is an amends that will take the rest of my life to make. It is also one I must bring into my relationships with others. I have had to be content with the result, and not let that sway me from the path I am on. It is easy to rest and say "I did my part, its on them". The apology I offered years ago was only words, although sincere, they were just words. Now I get to put the action behind them.
Sometimes slowly, they will always materialize...
