As someone on your list who cannot email either parent since they are both deceased, I'm encouraging to put all the other aside and email them. While you still have that option - email them. Don't put it off. When my parents died, we didn't have a computer. I'm thankful I was in the same city and could talk to them on the phone.
Relatives are yours by birth. Family is what you make. Hopefully your relatives are both, but not always.
And you've been away a long time without a lot of constant contact. You(group you, not just you you :) have lost a lot of the code words/shorthand that you had when you were there.
But, yeah, like Pat said - send it. They'd want to know. {{{{{{{{{{Ninjababy}}}}}}}}}}
I rely on my motto - "Friends are God's apology for family" Like Tam says,they are there by birth. When people have wonderful families, I think they are inclined to believe that we should/can all get along. But, those of us with not so wonderful families see it differently. As far as your mother being picky, don't let her quirks get in your way. Your a nice, good adult now, she's just gonna to have to live with that fact. If she can't and she feels the need to belittle your writing style, please remember that's her problem, not yours. And if she can't see you the way I do or the rest of your friends do, again, her problem and IMO, her loss.

I have no idea what [weg] means but what has that got to do with you telling them?
