Well, she lives in Ca. and I live in OK. But that isn't the problem because I go to Ca. about 2 times a year. She is 72. I am 40. I have her number and she has my number, but I don't want to call her because I know that she doesn't want to talk with me. I have talked with and met one of my 1/2 sisters, she lives in WA. But she said that our mother isn't ready and not to push her. So I've been waiting and writing and sending photos for about 3 years now.
