FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON has finally forgiven her mother NANCY for their painful estrangement - and hopes to get her back in her life before she starts having children. And Aniston wants a heartwarming reunion with her mother to make them one happy family again.

Jennifer says, "I love my mother, I will always love my mother. " The rift came after Nancy, 64, humiliated her daughter in a 1996 television interview and in a catty book. Jennifer called her mother after the show and told her she'd never forgive her and the pair haven't spoken since. But Jennifer's getting ready to break the icy silence.

She says, "We all have our own struggles. Some lives are easier than others. It continues to be hard - but time will heal it. " But now one of Jennifer's friends says the actress wants to tell her mother face to face that they should make up.

She says, "Jennifer's going to tell her, 'Mum I forgive you. ' She'll be in tears for sure. "She didn't invite Nancy to the wedding, despite Brad pleading with her to mend fences. But Brad has kept up the pressure and Jennifer is finally seeing the light.

"She realizes that she needs - and wants - Nancy to be a part of her children's lives. Jennifer knows what a doting grandma Nancy has been to her half-brother JOHN's children and she has impressed her. " (SVD/TS/RP)
