[quote=Anonymous]OP, so are you the person who has been absent? If you are, greet immediately maybe with a self effacing joke, "I'd understand if you don't remember me!" After that, do not fell any particular pressure to live-up to any particular expectation. If you are a relative in the presence of the long-lost person, do not gossip to others about them. Do not exaggerate the situation, don't voice speculation. Do not make them a point of conversation. Every knows, the same as you, that X hasn't been around. Greet them. Greet them as if it had been while but without making it seem like it had been a very, very long time.[/quote]
