KATHRYN
20 February 2010 prior
to seeing Dirty Dancing at the Aldwych Theatre
Wonderful
Story
When we were very young
we had a baby girl who was given for adoption. In October 1998,
Kathryn, our daughter, contacted us by letter. She was by this
time married to Rich and had a thirteen month old daughter, Daisy
(go back for Daisy's section). After many more exchanges of letters
and telephone calls, we finally met in the Grapevine
Hotel in the lovely Cotswold
town of Stow
on the Wold in Gloucestershire at
the end of January 1999.
We never had any more children after Kathryn and to find ourselves
with a ready made family at this time in our lives has been
somewhat mind blowing to say the least! Since that first meeting at
Stow, we have exchanged many visits between Leeds and Farnham, and made many
memorable trips together. Our love for each other has taken deep
root and although the wonder of it will never cease to amaze us,
Kathryn, Rich and Dasiy are so much part of our lives now, it is
hard to recall those long years when they were not.
Kathryn is an arts enthusiast with a particular love of opera.
This amazed Tez as he has been an opera lover since childhood
and to find that love anew in Kathryn was very rewarding. She used
to work in the Marketing Department for Opera
North in the beautiful old Grand Theatre in Leeds,
a post that enabled her to combine hobby and work.
We are grateful to all our friends who after the initial shock of
learning our secret, have given so much love and support to us all
over the years that have passed since October
1998.
