So it has probably been more like 13 years since I have been in the same room as her for more than a hour or so. She just stopped coming around. I know she has had the same boyfriend since about 16. I have never seen or met him. My older sons used to keep in touch with her on Facebook or something, but when she didn't even come around when my dad died a year ago November, they cut her off. My son Joe says "she is dead to me". I hear she and her boyfriend live in Oregon now, but don't really know. I try to say, well, her choice, but it is still hard sometimes. I don't have any idea even what kind of person she is.

I'd suggest you send her a simple card and write something like "Thinking of you, Love Dad"

See if she responds.
