Hey, my friend. Glad to see you online again. I remembered you were heading to 'Bama to go to her graduation, so I'm glad y'all made it back home to Texas safely.

You don't sound crazy at all. Just chill and call her like any friend-brother would and let her sorta lead the way in what she wants from you and how she seems to want to relate. Seems to me like you reached out and reconnected with her with your visit and your gift and now she's reaching right back.
