IMO I think anytime is a good time to make amends and especially when it comes to family and loved ones. As far as being strong enough to take the response...
I've always told my friends God didn't make me a survivor for nothing. If either one of them decided not to forgive that would be their perogative. The important thing is that I put it out there wholly heartfelt and with complete sincerity.
In other words, I've made my peace with my particular situation with them.
And with the grace of God the forgiveness was there for me and for that I am grateful.
