My daughter contacted me today.

This is no big deal for most of you. I have not seen her for thirty three years.
We hope to get together soon. We will remain in contact. there is so much lost time to make up for.

Hope it goes well, Bert.

I won't ask for details because things like this are very private and personal.

But thanks for sharing and even without knowing why it's been such a long time coming, at least it's finally happening.

It's a good thing

How exciting for you!
You must be so curious about everything she has done in her life. Her interests, achievements, goals.
I very happy for you.

I'm not a Dad, but I can easily imagine how wonderful this must feel, for both of you. Families are indeed special, and any moments together, no matter how fleeting or how long in between, are certainly precious.

Cheers

Dennis

Bert, excellent news I'm sure it will work for the best.

Five years ago this August I found I had another 3 brothers and 2 sisters apart from the 2 brothers and 2 sisters I know, make the most of the time you'll now have together. Life is so short!

She stood out in her new family, intelligent, outspoken, relentless in her quest for new knowledge etc. Sad I was not there to back her up.
She is amazed I am like her!

Woo-Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is fantastic news Bert. I am so happy for you!

I didn't see my daughter for 15 years, then she came to live with me. It was terrific. And you are talking about 33 years! WOW!

You'll have so many things to discover about each other. Great News!

I bet you're a bit nervous, old son.

All the very best. I hope that she turns out to be whatever it is that you wish her to be (and you for her) and that any awkwardness lasts but a few minutes. Good luck.
