My cold black heart, much like the Grinch’s, grew three sizes and broke the measuring device reading the OP…

That’s absolutely _lovely_. I’m so glad for you.

And that’s it: I’m gonna find a way to pack this family onto a plane and go see my best friend from when we were seven.

Hooray! Happy endings 🙂

I find myself wondering if maybe there isn’t more to the mother and sister’s vagueness, though. Just a random thought, but maybe they’re religious and he turned out to be a godless heathen? Or maybe they’re (emotionally) distant because they’re homebodies, and he got bitten by the wanderlust bug?
