    Blueblades,

    Sorry to hear about your brother dieing, but I am equally happy to hear about your other news.

    Tyydyy,

    Wow! What a story! I hope you tell us more. Especially when the two of you meet.

    If only the Dubs knew exactly what they are doing to each other with the whole Disfellowshipping thing.

    Congratulations, Tim! I just recently was reunited with my aunt after 25 years. She too was DF'd and no one knew where she was. She found me through an internet search. We just met again face to face after 25 years, this past August.

    Another update:

    We've spent several hours talking this weekend. Don has talked to our sister (Brooke) and our brother (Rodney). He told me today: "You just have no idea how much I missed you guys" I said .........."Oh......I think I do" He has no record of his life before 20. No family pictures or personal items. We've all been getting pictures together and emailing them to him. I just saw pictures of Don, his wife and his 3 sons tonight. The more we talked about old times the more we realized what we were missing. Age has taken it's toll on all of us and yet the connection is still there. The beauty is.............I believe it's there to stay. It's the first time I remember the two of us telling each other ...I love you.

    You see, Don and I are not blood brothers. He was adopted at age 2, just a few months after I was born. Yet our connection is based on love and understanding. Uncondtional love that comes with getting to know someone well and believing that they are there for you just as much as you are there for them without having to say so. Understanding the thoughts of each other because we share a common background and know where we are going. We are all grateful for the chance to be a family again.
