a personal note -

I just got a call from an agency which deals with adoption issues, to tell me that my natural father died about two weeks ago. I’m so glad he made contact with me recently – we wrote two letters each, and exchanged photos. But I’m sorry that we never met.

It was my birth mother who told the Agency that he had died, so that they could let me know. This was extremely kind of her - I should write to her.
