NOTHING but quite a surprise. We did get one of those when we learned of my late younger brother having a baby with a woman in Nevada in 1982 we never knew about. Kind of instant whole branch of a tree and a lot of letters exchanged. And new great grandkids for my parents. And lots of new birthdays to get cards for in one month. My younger brother's love child has the same birthday as a special friend I made a few years ago near the Villages. They are not the same age though but about 20 years apart.

It's never too late, Tal. Finding
the right one is NOTHING but important. My son was engaged once and almost got engaged a second time but backed out. Now, 10 years after the first broken engagement he tells me he's really glad he waited because he's learned so much more about himself in those 10 years and is more confident of what he wants in a life partner. I think some of the guys on NOTHING have talked in the past about the consequences of marrying the wrong person. I was blessed the first time around but not everyone is. I waited though. I didn't get married until I was 27. That's not too old now, but back then it was considered somewhat older than most. Most of my friends were already married and starting families but I didn't let that pressure me. Honestly, I really wasn't all that focused on getting married but more on my career path. I guess when you don't try so hard to find the right person it just happens.
