person A: I saw my stepmother for the first time in 15 years since my daddy passed away. It was totally unplanned and It was quite a shock to see her. 
person B: Oh wow_comma_ It must have been quite an overwhelming experience for both of you
person A: Most definitely. It brought a lot of pain to the surface that I thought I had gotten past. I seem to be dwelling a bit now. 
person B: Congrats because I know you will definitely overcome the pains
person A: Eventually. There a good memories mixed in there that I can recall fondly too. Sentiment is like that...you can smile while you're crying
