I hope that when you reach out it will be positive but overall it may be highly emotional either direction and with something you may want to forget a less memorable time. (On the other hand everything could go perfectly and you'd have a happy memory. But I don't think many things in life go perfectly). I hope this doesn't come across as negative.
Thanks. This was the most helpful response (not that the other responses weren't helpful...) but yeah, I don't want every holiday to be "Yup, Sam was drinking/drugging and running off on ke now!" even if that was a twisted version of the truth.
