Just wanted to share with you - Yesterday I had a marvellous day. A relative whom I had met through GR came from Sheffield to see me and we spent a great day together. Her dad was my dad's nephew but because of the short gap in age, they were more like brothers. She can remember her dad talking about "our Mick". We visited my sister Brenda, and she also met three of my daughters and my husband. I took her for Lunch and then my husband took us both for dinner before she had to return to sheffield. It was so great to meet someone of our family for the first time. I shall be going to Sheffield in the near future to meet her family.

I have also found out this morning that two of my daughters have planned a surprise for me. Another until now unkown relative found my sister's grave. There is no headstone or anything on it. I mentioned to my daughters that I would like to get something simple and erect it there. Without me knowing they had arranged to meet Richard (who got me started on this) in Sheffield, and take me to see the grave.

Thank you Richard (baldy) and GR for these bright spots in my life. Chris
