Very OT: Auld Lang Syne
Funny how things happen. I have two adopted brothers, neither of which
we've heard nor seen anything of for the last thirty years... until last weekend. My sister found one of our brothers on Classmates.com. We've already been in contact. He called our mother today. She's over the moon and their planning a reunion for the near future. I'm not sure how I feel about it. At all.

They both just fell of the face of the earth thirty years ago, for crying out loud. Of course it's up to our mother to decide what to do now, but at the time both she and dad were badly hurt by it. I'm sure my brother doesn't know that they were disowned ages ago. While they were both still around, their behavior was pretty harsh and they were none too kind to mom and dad.
