Some family members have got in touch and I have no clue what to say to them! Any ideas?
For background: My Dad has three sisters, he moved to England 26 or so years ago, two of his sisters spend half of their time in England, and half of their time in Iran (home country) and the third stayed in Iran.
Dad lost contact with the third sister (N) and hasn't spoken since, knows nothing of her life apart from that she married and had children.
N's daughter in her mid-20's contacted my older sister via facebook this morning, they are a similar age we think and they spent a couple of hours chatting via FB messages, a general catch up I think. N contacted my Mum but Mum's been out all day so didn't get a chance to reply and N's son contacted my older sister too. N has now contacted me to say hi but I don't really know what to say, has anyone contacted 'lost' family members before?
There is a language barrier as well, they all seem to be able to write very basic English but none of us know any Farsi I'm very excited as I've wanted to know about them for years, but have no idea what to say!
