Have you ever forgiven someone you vehemently disliked?

I disliked my mother for her taking a stance in denial. I would never sit by her or say good bye. However, she was hospitalized with a gall bladder that had rot and had died week before. s before. As I saw her in pain and the thought of her dying and me left to suffer for a lack of caring, This I could not justify and I needed to forgiver her. I made amends and told her thing would be different. She's 87 years old.
