J-Mac: Reunion With Sis Went Great

J-Mac: I just wanted to post a follow up a post I put some time ago. Back in late November, my half sister, whom I had not heard from or seen in 26 years found me online and we have been getting reacquainted ever since. Well, she and her family came up this past Friday and stayed through Tuesday. My wife’s baby shower was Saturday and she really wanted to make it up for that. I don’t really get nervous at all, but I was hugely nervous to meet her on Friday night as she got in around 7:00 pm. Long story short, it went as well as it could possibly have gone. She is beautiful, smart and very, very sweet and her husband and boys were just as great. I took the boys skiing, we did Wolf Lodge, they came to our church…it was just a remarkable weekend getting to know them.

Question: Have you ever reunited with someone that you hadn't seen in at least 5-10 years? How did it go?
