How could that possibly be the wrong thing to do. We don't choose our parents nor the circumstances they heap upon us . However we can choose what we do about them and no one has the right to tell us otherwise. You did the right thing. If she is a good person worth knowing she will welcome you at the difficult time in her life. I know the older I get the more regrets I have and you don't get many do overs in life. My wife had a brother she hadn't seen in 30 years. they were separated when he was five and she was 12. I convinced her to get in touch with him. She did and they have been close for the last 30 years. 30 yrs she would never have had if she had chosen otherwise.
