I am having dinner with a couple from Australia this evening. They are both in their 80s and he knew my birth mother really well. He was married to my mum's cousin (they were like sisters) and when she died he married his current wife whose husband had died too (all 4 of them had been friends).

 

He looked out for my mum during her early Alzheimers and was a very good friend to her. He was also around when I phoned and made contact with her for the first time and helped her cope with that.

 

My half-sister says he's been very keen to meet me and she reckons he'll be freaked out because I look so like my mum and have quite a few of her mannerisms (which is freaky in itself ).

It will be interesting to hear how you get on ANH

Hope you have a lovely dinner and evening!

[Egluntyne]

How exciting. I hope he can give you lots of info about your birth family.

[Space Chick]

[Scramble]

Wow

Hope you have a lovely evening

[Chickvic]

Have an interesting evening

[Blackrocksrock]

Have a lovely time - I never traced my birth mother and now I feel its far too late but I still sometimes wish I had done so long long ago.

I think its the genetic things you miss too and the family traits!

[Faye&Ant]

Hope you have a great evening - bet there are loads of stories to be told

[rosie]

so interesting that you have some of your mother's mannerisms. I hope you really enjoy your evening and come back with some good stories about your family.

It was a very nice evening . They were lovely and very easy to talk to. They both looked a bit startled at my resemblance to my mum . Turns out John met my mum when she was 11 and has been a fairly close friend all her life. His wife knew her very well too. They didn't have much to tell me that I hadn't been told already but it was very interesting all the same. He said it was a shame I hadn't known her before the Alzheimers as she was a lovely person, very vibrant and interesting was how he put it.

 

We've exchanged email addresses and he has promised to post me lots of photos of my mum (which no-one else wants!)

Great. There's something very special about meeting someone who knew your mum, especially someone who knew her as a young woman. Glad it went well.

[jackiepoppies]

Vibrant and interesting ........Well, you've certainly inherited those traits Vicki

 

If I see a post from you, it's one of the first I will read.
