I hope it all goes well for you, I have been apart from my family for so long and the tragedy is it has taken my father to become terminally ill to bring us back together, however for all the bad things that were said in the past i know that they are still my family and I have realised how much I missed them, at the moment I am taking it slowly, well ish as time is not on Dads side, but I do not want to loose them again.
I hope all goes well for you as family is so important if they can love you and give you support, good luck and you never know, it could have been fate that sent the e-mail, in which case it was meant to happen xx
