Journaling: Who would have thought that I, a month before I turned fifty, would utter the words "I've got another brother"? Not me anyway, but still I'm sitting here a week after my birthday and realizing that I've actually got another brother! Or it's a half-brother, but we've never been so careful about using the half in our family. Either you are siblings or not, then whether it is on one parent's side or both has not played that big of a role. I still cant believe that I actually found our brother after so many years! I am so grateful that Hans-Ingvar wants to have contact and after 82 years feels that he can get answers to the questions that must have eluded him for so long. Both Hans-Ingvar and his wife Inga-Maj were so nice and genuinely curious. I am very much looking forward to introducing them to IngaLena and Pia-Karin, I hope that they will also enjoy being together. It was a late start to our connection, we can only hope that we have the opportunity to meet a lot in the coming years.

Well, that must have come as quite a surprise! Fascinating! I love your stamping at the bottom with the cute border pieces and the border pieces at the top, the way you used mixed media under the photos...very striking!

@kendrawalter I got a DNA test done some years ago and Hans-Ingvars granddaughter did a test last year. We got a match and at first I thought it was a cousin or second cousin, but as I didn’t recognize her (I have 50 + cousins, it’s hard to keep track of all them and their kids) I contacted her and we found out that her granddad a I have the same father.

@cfile thank you, yes it is an amazing story and I have so much to tell about it, there vill be more pages about this (and it is two photos of Hans-Ingvar, not the two different brothers :) )

Wow that's really cool! What a great memory to preserve for the future as well as the beginning (hopefully) of many years of a relationship for you two! Beautifully scrapped- I love the paints behind the photos!
