Back in the eighties I was married to a girl called Frances and living in Jersey. I had a small stepson 2 years old when we married and 6 years old when we parted after she left me for someone else. She refused me access and depite a lengthy court battle I was unable to rectify the situation. A short while after they left Jersey and I was unable after many attempts to find him, until yesterday when I found Brigham via Facebook. He is now 30 years old and last night I talked to him for an hour on the phone he was so pleased I had found him. We will meet in the new year.
So yes there is a Santa Claus.

thanks for sharing that, I have to say it nearly [just nearly mind] brought a tear to my eye, Christmas is when you think of your missing loved ones most and to have been able to find him and talk to him must have been great.
Good on you for not giving up

There's always hope, they tend to make their own mind up when they get older. Keep the faith m8.
