My Brothers Op

My Brothers Op
To everyone that added their prayers to mine
My brother came through the op - he’s fine
He gave us worries at the start
But now they have re tubed and flushed his heart
It kept him quiet for a while
If you knew him you’d know that’s not his style
I can only thank you for caring
And thank you for your prayers and sharing.

My new brother as we call him 
Is very dear to me
We never even met
Until he passed the age of fifty- three.
We had been searching the web, as people often now do
To find ancestors out there, bet you have done it too.
We came across a tree, while searching for some other
You can imagine our surprise, when we found we had a new brother

We are very close my big brother and I
I lost one and found one new
He will never replace my other one 
But he is my brother true.
I love him as if he’s always been there
We’ve missed so much time together.
But then we may have been complacent
If we had known each other for ever. 

Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers you sent. I would like to respond to all of them and congratulate all your wins but it will take me forever so please accept a huge thanks and congratulations and I hope to get back in the swing soon.
Mandy ***
