Three? In our family we have an expression, PUFO. It stands for Porcine Unidentified Flying Objects, or if you believe that you wll believe anything! Go for it John and have a great evening. ad infinitum .........
I've just had a phone call wishing me happy birthday from my half-brother who I only discovered three months ago. I was adopted at three weeks, and our girls started the search into my blood-line past some time ago.
Pat, who is my maternal, not paternal brother and I made contact by phone a month ago and we keep in touch at least weekly by e-mail and are going to meet up in August, at least 60 years after births.
I'm probably feeling just as as emotional at this time as I was since the birth of our daughters.
Oh gosh, John... what a sad but also uplifting story. You and your new found sibling ought to be on the telly...?
Seriously, I hope that you and your half brother will 'click' (perhaps you are both interested in football?) and that the connection will open up a whole new arena of family relationships for both of you.
If it's not too painful, perhaps you can keep us posted? Will certainly be thinking of you in August....
In the meantime, hope the bevvys are flowing tonight! No worries about the year. I'm only 7 months behind you!
