Ah, the dreaded 'telly' - should have known!

Hi. I have found reading all your stories very interesting. I have found that my father has a half-sister, who we would love to try to make contact with. We have to find her first though - all I know is that she left England for Canada in the 40's.

Keep us updated on how it goes!

I am so thrilled I can't stop smiling 

I received a phone call last night from my 'new' brother.  It was so good to hear him.  We chatted for about an hour before we both started to get a bit emotional.  I think we both had a few doubts but they have now been wiped away by that call.  We are now making some plans to meet soon.  Originally he wanted to take things very slowly and seemed reluctant to meet me but now we can't wait.  It seems as if we have known each other for years.

I am so pleased I took all your advice so thank you all again, and again, and again and I will keep you informed.

Ahhhh, how lovely to hear that ! Those words you spoke were similar to mine ! The emotions will carry on until you meet him, and then the day you do , will feel like your marriage and births of your children rolled into one !!!! 

Please pass on to your brother my very best wishes too,  and to you both I say , long may it continue to be a very happy relationship ! I am so delighted for you !

Thank you for all your good wishes.  I knew you would all understand how exciting this is for me. 

To suddenly find a brother in your later years is wonderful.  To actually like him is even better.  Part of me wants to keep it all to myself and part of me wants to climb to the highest rooftop and scream and shout.  So many emotions after such nerve-wracking beginnings.

Thank you all again for helping me through this major change in my life
