//It was actually the 25th, but we're close enough... Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

//Has it really been 10 years?! Who knew this little lady & I would stick around this long? Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

--take you out for lunch or dinner to celebrate. Cora*

--liked almost as much, but wasn't sure if you'd like it. If you're interested, I can show you a picture of it. I hope you have a lovely day today and that Keith spoils you in all the ways you deserve to be spoiled. When we can find an appropriate time in common, I'd love to--

*Waking up early, I have my morning tea and finalize my gifts for the birthday girl. A smile lights up my face at the reminder of how far we've come. My thoughts turn briefly to less successful reconciliations, but I return my focus to the lady of the day, @WickedOneZelena.--

@WickedOneZelena Thank you, dear. I appreciate you thinking of me today.

Happy birthday, mum. @RottenToTheCora

@BandedFlower Of course, there will be time. If you wish to get together for tea or a talk again, please let me know. I've enjoyed this chance to reconnect with you and see the incredible woman you've become, Rose. Have a good day. *Smiling, I turn to head out of the garden again toward home.*

@BandedFlower *I take a deep breath and wait for your response. You could accept this or reject. I will accept your reaction either way without question.*

@BandedFlower it won't happen. That makes me sad, as I thought we'd had a good friendship here in town, but the truth finally came to light about things from the old lands and he rightfully... Well, not everyone can forgive and I accept that.

@BandedFlower Everyone works in their own time and their own comfort levels, Rose. I cannot begrudge anyone who is unable to forgive me for what I did. One of my own daughters is still in that place. The other? We're working on it at her pace. The man she loves? He's already as much as said--

@BandedFlower and not automatically expected by me. To be completely frank, Rose, I don't expect anyone to forgive me for the things I did and said. I was a horrible person back then. But I can hope that people would be willing to at least see the changes I'm making, the better choices.

@BandedFlower If Bander, or any of the Wonderlandians, should wish to make peace with me, I am always open to the opportunity. I want it to be his choice, or their choices. I know that I can only make the offer and show that I'm trying my best to be a better person, but forgiveness is earned--
