Question: Have you found long lost relatives!? How was your experience!?
Have you found long lost relatives!?
just recently found my dad after a 10 year search! But we have not been in contact for over 20-25 yrs and Im almost 30!. I wrote him a letter and he seems interested in getting to know me, and forming a relationship!. We both live on the east coast, which is a plus!. Im in MD and he is in FL, so it wouldnt be too hard to visit eachother when it comes to that!. Have you found a long lost relative!? How was your experience!? And do you have Www@QuestionHome@Com

I, too, was estranged from my dad for many years, but had the opportunity to reunite with him, a year before he passed away!.
He had already been diagnosed witih terminal cancer and had been given 6 months to live, so having the extra time was a gift!.
It was a good year and I'm glad we had the time together, especially since my sons were able to spend some quality time with their grandfather!.

Thank you for sharing your story!.
Perhaps, it will encourage others to search deep within themselves and find the power to take a leap of faith, also!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
