Maggie! like everyone else I'm so pleased for you and I too can't imagine the emotions you must both be going through.
I met up with a cousin in Jan 09, here in NZ that I never relised existed until just before Christmas. We had lived in the same city for over 30 years a stones through away from each other, on our first meeting we spoke none stop for 5 hours with no one else around just us two.
Make sure have pleanty of tea at hand (Or what ever your fancy is) you'll need it I'm very sure of that...
Good luck to you both and your families
