I can just imagine your sister's elation at finding your Dad.
What a lovely story @juliamulcahy! It's quite something to ponder on, how our lives could have turned out if we'd made a different choice.
I shared details of my mom's story in response to a comment below from @roleerob as it touched a chord, was going to do it here, but it also is a long story. Seems like there are many stories like this as things were often swept under the carpet back then!
That's very true, @lizelle.
What I found most interesting, is that I'd always loved the openness of my parents and the stories they shared with me growing up. This one, however, was not one of them. 💛
Thank you, @lizelle 💛
