After a very nerve-wracking week I came home today to find a letter.  I now know it is my half-brother and he was very shocked to discover he has a half-sister.  He knew nothing about me and all he knew about  my  father was his name.  He doesn’t know he has a half-brother yet so another shock in store for him.

He wants to keep in contact but it seems he wants to take is slowly which is fine by me. 

So, all’s well that ends well – except it hasn’t ended yet - it's just started.

Thanks for all your advice and convincing me it was the right thing to do.

Wow, wonderful news that you have at last traced your brother. Yes, I can understand why he wants to take it slowly, that was why I took so long to see my sister, we phoned and exchanged letters for about 4 months before our meeting, we got to know about each of our families.

Yes, as you say, now this is the start, not the ending. Good luck .
