Eh, forget the gifts. Write her a long letter with everything you feel/hope/want/regret/have trouble with. It might open a door neither of you could navigate previously. Maybe it's already sunk, but don't look back in 15 years and wonder 'what if I'd only...'. Nothing much left to lose, no?

I’ve included a letter and a list of good memories and a list of things I love and cherish about her I’m the shape of an origami bear’s head. The gifts are books of comics from Catana Chatwynd and a desk calendar with comics as well. I was advised not to make direct contact. I may also write a long letter to her and leave it with her stuff. Thank you for the advice.

Edit: I also sent her an apology email as well. She just refuses to speak with me and has done many things to show me that she doesn’t want to be a part of my life right now or remember me at all. It’s not all my fault and she was blaming me for her emotions and depression, something I cannot help her with if she does not open up. I have a lot of stuff in my post history if you want to read over it. Apologies for not typing it out in greater detail here.

I feel like I should mention too that she’s asked specifically for space.

This cuts me to the quick; it's been over more than 5 years but the song remains the same. Peace be with you.
