Previously I had made this request: "Please pray that my brother will begin talking to us again. It has been over a year now and I don't know what to do. I've exhausted all of my options and I really miss him. He won't talk to my Mom and Dad or me. I feel lost without my brother."

For the first time in over a year, my brother contacted us and spoke with us. I please ask that you pray that there is continued progress with him. I was so happy and mad at the same time and I really want to forgive him but it's so hard because I feel so hurt.
