How wonderful for you and your brother. You'll have so many years to catch up on, and new family members to meet. I'm glad you took the initiative and made that phone call. I can't wait to hear more good news. Panda

That is truly wonderful news.I can just imagine how you feel.I hope with all my heart that your brother calls you as soon as possible.
maybe if you feel to write down some of your thoughts before he calls you - you know how sometimes over the phone we can get choked with emotions not able to express ourselves as we would like.
I hope everything goes ok.
take care

And DAMNATION TO THE WTBTS for making threads like this necessary!
If the WTBTS hadn't forced the issue.........there would be no reason for a reunion.......families would stay together!

Well...........It happened. He called back last night. After 22 years, we've found each other. There was nervousness at first. For both of us. Neither of us were sure what the other was feeling. He asked if I was still a witness and I said: "Absolutely Not". He was careful, too careful, about talking bad about the JDubs. He wanted to make sure that he didn't influence my decision in any way. I assured him that the decision had been made and there was no going back.
We spent 1 1/2 hours catching up. Who's still alive. Who's dead. I told him about all the neices and nephews he has. He's still never seen his youngest sister who is still a dub. I found out that he has 3 sons. We talked about things we've been through and what we're doing right now. It's impossible to cram 22 years into a couple of hours worth of conversation.
His wife seemed very excited too. She listened to our conversation and from time to time he would explain a couple of details of the stories we were reminiscing about. I can't wait to see them both. Money is preventing me from a quick trip to see him but we'll be making plans soon. I'm spending this morning compiling family imformation: pictures, birthdays, phone numbers and addresses.
I feel like my insides have melted. I've finally found him. 22 years of wondering were he was, if he missed me, guilt of the role I played in shunning him. I can't explain what I feel................... I just wish I could hug him. I'm sure I'd be crying
