[...] I apologize. I realize that came off harsher than I intended it to. I know that I, on my own, have made progress in becoming more the sort of person that I want to be, but I still have many shortfalls and talking about things that hit close to emotions is something that I still struggle with. I probably always will.
But, that being said. When I say that you would be welcome, I don't mean it only in the sense that Caleb invited you and that the welcome extends to his friends. I mean that I would like it if you were here. I do understand the trepidation, as I am not blind to how I have been and how I have treated you over the last century. My regard for you as my brother and my family hasn't been nearly what it should be and it shouldn't have taken me several epiphanies and a trip to another world to realize it. But if you decide, now or ever in the future, that living here might be something you want to try, just know that I would endeavor to only have it help the progress that we've made, rather than take steps backwards.
