A Brother Found
April 4, 2000

I have searched for many years for a 1/2 Brother
whom I have never met....
Our father died 2 months before Steven was born..
I never knew my father or his new wife but
I always had a special feeling in my heart for both
by brother and my father....
I have prayed and prayed since I knew of Steven's
existence that one day I would find him by
God's Grace....
Today I got a letter from my Aunt in Texas
telling me that Steven had contacted them last
week!! 
He didn't even know that I existed!!
I could barely read the letter that I held in
my hands because my eyes were swelled
with tears and my mind was racing...
all I could do was to scream and shout and jump
around the house!!  I couldn't contain this
new found information.....it was more than I could
stand!!
My poor dog just sat there looking at me as if
to say:
"Oh my poor mommy has really lost it!"

I finally got myself together enough to call my
Aunt and Uncle and we talked with excitement as
they told me all about Steven!!
I was given an E-Mail address for him so I
immediately wrote to him to much avail....
My letters kept being returned to me...
He was so close and yet so far away!!
On Wednesday, April 5th,
I finally contacted the University where he works
in Hawaii and contacted a couple of people
that I thought might know of him
and I got a reply back from one of the women  saying that she knew him and had
forwarded my E-Mail to him....
After she gave me his proper address
I wrote to him and on Wednesday
afternoon he called me!!
This was a day that I had longed for
for so long and now that I was hearing his voice,
I couldn't believe that it was really happening!
I felt as though I were having a lucid dream,
but I really was in shock!
The only other times that I have felt this way
was when both of my children were born,
the day I had a bad car accident,
and the day my other brother, Rick, died....
I'm sure you know the feeling!
It's like you know it's happening but you can't
contain the reality of the whole thing!

We talked for quite awhile about everything under
the sun and he explained that had he known
about me, he would have tried to contact me
before this....

I can't wait to see him and his wonderful wife Donna!!
They will hopefully be coming to California in
the Fall.....
what a happy reunion that
will be!! 

If you think that miracle's don't happen anymore,
I am here to tell you that they DO!!
If you have a lost loved one, don't ever give up on
finding them!!

I want to take this moment to thank my
HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE
AND ALL HIS ANGEL HELPERS
for granting me this one very important wish...
God knows when we are ready and HE always
hears the cry of our hearts!!
I'm so glad that you are in my life Steven!!
Thank you for finding me!!

Your Sister Kathi
