I have heard from my sister today and she has thanked me for my letter about her Son who sadly died on the day he was born. I have waited since October for a response. I wasn't sure how she would react and as I hadn't heard from her I was convinced I had upset her but she tells me she still has my letter/card and reads it often.
My brother now sees his son regularly, he wasn't able to see him for many years, and they will be visiting me for New Year.I haven't seen his son since he was a toddler and he is now 13.

I am yet to meet my long lost friend but I am still in touch.

And my daughter has sent a text to say she is on her way from Brighton.
Happy days at last,
Elizabeth

    I am glad that you have heard from her, tkachev, that must be a weight off your mind. It must be reassuring for you to know that your words still bring comfort. I hope your daughter makes it back safely and that everything else falls into place. DD

    Hi Elizabeth,

    That must have been a very difficult letter for you to write but it shows it was worth it as your sister reads regularly. It's often those sort of letters we need to show us people care.

    It sounds as though things are coming together too for your family, just got to wait for your friend now.

    Enjoy having your daughter around.

    Love Legs XX :))

    Hi elizabeth

    What a heartwarming post.

    Thanks for that - your Sister! Bless her - she is rereading that letter - it must have been written from the heart and to hearv it maens so much to her. this has brought tears to my eyes.

    So happy your brother is reunited with his boy at last :)) I know I do the right thing in encouraging contact between my girls and their Father even though it is hard for me.

    Maybe 2011 is the year your friend will meet up with you too :))

    Love from me at Christmas, Elizabeth, to you and your family

    Thankyou for your replies Joan, Joan ,Toni and Barbara.

    Sorry to make you cry Toni. It made me cry too. I am just so glad to have heard from her.
    Time has flown since September, plus I have had an endless cold, so that is why I haven't sorted out a meeting with my friend, I know we will sort out a date eventually so I'm not worried.
    It is nice to share good news.
