I phoned my Mum today to wish her a happy birthday ( upps for yesterday)

Anyway I decided to bite the bullet and tell her that I had been intouch with her brother ( My Uncle) well ( shocked) she wasn't annoyed but said she had been thinking about them. So I gave her the phone number. After saying to me she thought she may have left it too late to contact I told her fiddlesticks ( or words like that) .
Anyway she rang off and I thought I had better phone my Uncle and warn him that I had given out the phone number ...

Guess What...........it was engaged, I joked that Mum was on the phone ...tried again ...engaged .......tried 20min later ring ring

Hello the voice said ......Hi Rog said me it's Margerys daughter

Oh she has just phoned ....bloody knew it ....me said well I was phoning you to tell you that I had given your phone number out ....well done said Rog ,,,,,, Rog gave Mum the phone number of the other brother cos like me he believes it's time to get in touch


Seee it's never too late to get intouch

I feel real chuffed cos not only do I have my Fave Uncle back, I have re-united me mum with her (adopted) brothers

Joy I will update as I get, as the next step might not be so easy for her and as I wasn't a fave niece I don't have a great wish to be in touch, as My Uncle Rog understood, but as he said it is now down to them.

Me I am as happy a a Pig in Sh*t cos I spent 20minutes on the phone talking to an Uncle that I haven't spoken to for 25yrs ........sad really isn't it he was and is my favourite Uncle ( I only have 3 )

MY MESSAGE

Get in touch cos what do you have to lose ? ...against what you may gain !

PHONE, WRITE, but do it

Suemaid I really hope it keeps getting better but as families go I won't hold my breath ... but Mum is 80 now Rog 63 and Peter 72 so we can only hope that mellow was good somewhere in the last few years.

If the story does have a bad ending I will tell ( or own up) but I have fingers crossed that this one will be all smiles
