Fantastic News!My Brothers are found!!
 | UPDATED MARCH 2008.
UPDATED PARAGRAPH IS BETWEEN ROW OF *****
Well,Its truly fantastic.I have great news. My two Brothers by my Dads first marriage,are alive,well,and back in my life
I couldnt have hoped for more.After being rejected,by the siblings i grew up with,(twice).
I had lost all hope of family,until just this last few weeks.
It has healed a totally broken heart,and now i can smile as i have family again!!.
Quite out of the blue i got an E-mail,from My oldest Brother Harry,to say he found my surname web page,and after reading it, he realised we were Brother/Sister.
Well,you could have knocked me down with a feather.
I was going to delete the page,as it was quite old,and never had i gotten a response. So imagine the very day,i came on-line to delete,i had the E-mail from Harry.
I too had been searching for him and his Brother(and mine)for 20years.
Also,a wonderful thing,i had very few pictures of me as a child,my face was cut out of the pictures in photo album,and only one survived,or so i thought.
Well Harry sent me some pictures the other day.and they were ones i had never seen before.
One of which i have added to this site.Hope you like it.
It was of Me aged 8,,My Sister,and my younger Brother,taken with my dad,in our back garden.in about 1966.
I was so moved to see it.I was like my Sister,clutching a dolly,i adored that doll,and still remember it.
Sadly,a few years ago,i got my care files from social services,as i was in and out of care,as i was rejected by my Mum.
The files were horrific to read,and some of the things in the file were tragic.
One of the reasons my sister would`nt stay in my life was because of something in the file,that was hard for her to accept,or even believe,i guess.
Sadly,she called me a liar,and said it never happened,even though i have it in black and white from social services. Its heartbreaking to come from a family,who dont care.
UPDATED PARAGRAPHS BELOW. *****************************************
Now i have my older brothers in my life,and countless cousins,uncles,aunts etc,etc.
I couldnt be happier.
Maybe i needed to get away from the negativity of my siblings whom i grew up with,as im now a happy healthy woman,with so much love in my life,i am so blessed. I have moved on completely from the heartbreak and life is fab !!. ******************************************
I was totally moved,shocked and delighted to finally have,two older brothers who love me for me.What bliss.
I think someone was watching over me the day i nearly deleted this site.
It (the social service file)was very traumatising,but cathartic to read,and finally understand my childhood,and i will put excerpts of file in here at some point,after i have taken out any thing that legally i cant print.
I learnt we have another brother too. But im not going to contact him,as i dont think he knows of us.
Anyway,the morale of the story is never give up,and hopefully if your looking for family,you will find them too.
