On a side note. Tentative travel dates have been set and tomorrow I make airline reservations (and car, motel) to fly back East at the end of January.

This will be exciting and a good thing. To meet my brother, his family, and other family members will be a good thing for all. The older generations knew that there was a child given up for adoption and I don't think any have lingering issues about that - other than my Bmom. It's up to my brother and her youngest sister to try and work on that issue.

Through social media, we all see how we've grown and what we do, this won't be a total surprise. And as I've mentioned, I've spoken for an hour with one aunt and another hour with my brother. Lots in common with my brother an I, but more on that later.


P.S. Thank you all!!!
