Mending relationships is tough work, but its not an impossible task.
To help you figure out where to start, The Wall Street Journals put together a six step outline.
Everyone runs into a relationship they need to fix at some point in their life.
Meet somewhere: get together at a neutral location for some one on one time.
Start with small talk: catch up on all the nonsense you would anyway.
Talk about children, family, jobs, the weather, or whatever else.
Ask for their view: nows the time to see how they viewed the issue the whole time.
Ask about their side of the story.
Come up with a plan: figure out where you go from here to keep mending the relationship.
Do you forget about the whole thing?
Go to a family gathering?
Plan out the next step to help deal with the inevitable bit of awkwardness.
