.......So... A little more progress.......

So when things start to move so fast then it all becomes a blur and one's life takes on a new "normal". Forgetting to record certain details when sharing this kind of event is easy to do. Omitting to give credit and thanks for contributions to this new "life-refashioning" is only a sign of emotional reconstruction and not lack of gratitude, respect or value.

For this to happen so close to Christmas is a bit daunting as my Christmas budget wasn't ready for it. But I hope various family members eventually understand what an upheaval it is to my life as well as theirs.

So this page is to bring you up to speed on what has happened in this miracle story.....

I discovered I have a brother and.....

My only sister Wendy returns into my life after 50 years...

       Last Sunday afternoon my mobile phone screamed at me.... I was caught completely off-guard as a voice from the past connected my heart to that of my "full blood" sister, Wendy whom I have not seen nor spoken to since the day of her 5th birthday party held at Salisbury in 1954.

       Then last Mon 6th December, a long conversation on the phone with Wendy. We talked about nearly everything that needed to be said as a matter of priority, and now I am looking forward to traveling to Adelaide after the new year to meet her in person after 50 years...

       Then I hope to meet my father, who Wendy has now contacted about me... She tells me that he has missed me and pined after his long lost son since that time. Apparently he returned to the orphanage at Walkerville to find I was gone. I had been sent to meet my mother at Brisbane and I thought the journey may have been meant as a holiday as I could never recall any farewells at all. But this may never be verified.

       It seems my father never knew of the arrangement for either a holiday or a transfer to my mother's care. I have yet to find out if it was organised by the child welfare department, and if there were reasons for handling it that way. The fact that he was told I had died is a bit stunning - when I think of the implications. But why should I be surprised at what human beings do to each other.

       There may be matters here that will need to be clarified.

       Thank you for reading about and experiencing my personal win.... I do hope this story brings some hope to you if you have been experiencing similar circumstances.....  May my music assist you to cope as it has for me.....

PS: But as I type these words, my attention turns to the fact that I have not yet located my dear Mother. But there is yet the future...
