Reunited.

Today was a big day.

Mr Ws eldest lives in New Zealand. He hasn't seen her for about 35 years. I have no idea the reason. They contact each other very occasionally usually around Christmas and birthdays. 

I was aware she was coming over to England for Christmas and tried to get Mr W to arrange something with her but he chose not to.... I think to avoid possible rejection.

So I contacted her on Messenger and suggested we arranged a meet up. She replied straight away and agreed. 

It was going to be a surprise for Mr W so he didn't worry about it, but on Christmas day he got a bit sad that she hadn't contacted him to arrange a meet up. Apparently she had back in November but as he doesn't do Facebook he didn't get the message. So to prevent any more sadness I told him what I had arranged!!

He had a right proper tear up. 

Today was the day we met. Somewhere mutual. It was lovely. Low key and relaxed. Like old friends meeting.

I couldn't see a resemblance and it was weird to think I was her step mum - although I'm 6 months younger than her!

They exchanged numbers and after a few hours we left each other. 

I'm so glad we managed to arrange it. She flies back to New Zealand on Wednesday.
