thankyou everyone
we are all so pleased that they can finally be back together they should be talking on the phone next couple of days and then mum and dad are travelling from scotland to southend on sea to meet with her and her family
we are taking it slowly for them as margaret being only two didnt know she had a brother she couldnt remember him but my dad being four remembers her so its not such a shock for him
so slow but sure and we will get there

Polly I'm absolutely thrilled for you that's marvellous news!!
There'll not be a dry eye in the house

We found my Dad's sister,but unfortunately they'd died (both in their 80s) and within 6 weeks of each other,so it's lovely to hear your Dad and his sister will be reunited

My best wishes to your family

You have bought tears to my eyes, with your wonderful news.

Your Aunty Margaret must have been in shock when she was first contacted! What a wonderful present to give them both.
I hope that some one will take loads of photos when they meet.

Well done PollyPoppet and everyone who helped bring this about.
