Writing Prompt #409: Catching Up from Wonderland

Here's a situation I was in recently:

Communication with someone (or a group of someones) has been cut off for a span of time, and in that span, LOTS has happened. Lots that is big and life-changing and self-changing and world-shaping has happened. And now your character has to catch up these people that are important to her.

"Hi, mom. Remember that friend? I'm engaged."

"Hi, Grandpa. I'm a supervillain now."

How do you say this? You're going to rock their worlds too.

You're not the same person you were the last time you talked. These relationships are going to change. How do you face that, and reassure them?

If you figure this out, let me know. I have a lot of explaining to do.
