I could cry...actually i did cry at 4.30 this morning

As some of you may remember a few weeks ago i was upset and waiting for a phone call that never came (well i got a call but not from the person i wanted it to be from)

Well because ive got alot of pain and swelling with my joints at the mo ive been sleeping on the sofa on a night, but last night i was in that much pain i couldnt sleep so laid watching the tv when suddenly there was someone knocking on the door!

I looked at the clock and thought wtf! who would be knocking at 4.30 in the morning..hubby at work and has his own keys to get in anyway, both sons & daughter inlaw in bed, i know one of my cats can open doors and rattle keys when wanting to go out but knock??


Anyway off i tootles into the dining/kitchen, puts the light on and asked whos there and got no reply so braved it and unlocked the door when suddenly there he was!!!!!!!!

MY BROTHER WAS HOME !!!!!!!!!!!

I cant beging to tell you how happy i am, no waiting till february next year to see him, im so relieved hes in good health and in high spirits, hes alot thinner and needs fattening up but................

This is going to be the best christmas ever

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me & sent me pm's to ask how i was and how things was going


If anyone ever has a problem with a relative stuck in another country, i cant talk highly enough of the british embassy, they have been with me every step of the way, phoning me and keeping me updated.
