I had the unexpected happen yesterday. I received a personal apology from something that happened ten or so years ago. I remembered the event, but not the details. I remember the feelings of hurt and anger, but they had faded to dust in the years between. Frankly, I had written the whole ugly exchange off as a learning experience years ago, but I was humbled and delighted to hear the apology just the same.
Sometimes, for things like apologies or expressions of appreciation or tender words of love, there are no statutes of limitation. ANY time is a good time to say you are sorry, or how grateful you are, or that you love somebody. Even if it comes a decade or more late.

I am impressed by the apology. That would take a lot of guts. Must have been eating away at them for a long time. Great to know people still listen to their conscience.
