I haven't seen my DS1 in over a year...

(Cos he married a wonderful Aussie and lives there)
And tonight when DH and me were cooking dinner there was a loud knock at the door and they walked in!!!!!!

They were due to arrive a week later for two weeks...so they told us , but are actually here for three and wanted to surprise us, and their sister who had a baby 3 weeks ago.

I am just so bloody happy. To hear their voices and see DD2 and DS2's faces when they saw them (just DD1 to go as she lives further away but she rang me, and DS1 answered the phone Grin).

Thank you for sharing a lovely thing on a day when the news is extra depressing and it feels like the world is going mad. It genuinely made me smile. Enjoy your beautiful reunion!

Honestly, I have started to cry. Sooo nice!

When I first read the title I expected an awful thread about a parent who’d had their access to their child cut off for a whole year. I’m so relieved it’s a completely different type of thread to what had I expected! Over the moon for you OP, fantastic news. 😁 Thanks for sharing! 🥂

Erm, am I the only one who thinks it's not exactly a massive surprise to turn up just a week before everyone thought they were going to anyway?!
An actual surprise would be them arriving after saying something like, sorry mum we can't actually afford a trip, maybe see you next year.

Erm, am I the only one that doesn't like a fun sponge?!

Just say something nice or don't comment.

Really? Move along fun sponge!

Amazing! My DB lives in Australia and I hadn’t seen him for two years until a few weeks ago. Before that it had been four years thanks to Covid. We are as close as we can be given the distance so I really miss him!

Do you like pissing on people's fireworks all the time just tonight?

Just you it seems.
