Another feel good story. (http://www.abcnews.go.com/us/wirestory) Brothers Gary Nisbet and Randy Joubert have been working together at Dow's Sleep Center for several years and didn't know they were brothers.
The boys apparently were givin up for adoption as babies. The two boys also went to rival high schools and at one time actually lived in the same neighborhood. The curiosity really got stirred up when customers would as the two men if they were brothers. The two men looked so much alike that customers would question the two men. They both were glasses, have the same goatee, and even curl the brims of their hats the same. After the two started working together, Randy Joubert even mentioned to his fiance that he resembled his co worker. Well one thing led to another and the discovery was made. Since the story broke, the brothers have also discovered that they have a sister.
Just imagine the feeling that these people felt when they discovered they were family. I really shows people this really is a small world. I am so happy for this family to be reunited. Just think of the holidays that these people will get to share with each other. Exciting, in my opinion, is not the right word that can best describe what these people are feeling.
Congrats to this newly formed family. Good luck to all who are out there looking to find lost siblings or parents. This family should serve as inspiration and hope that finding lost family memebers is possible.

Michael, this story touched the strings of my heart. You see, I grew up as an only child and always wanted a brother or a sister.
ReplyDeleteTo continue my story I will need to start from the very beginning. My mom married my dad, a divorced man who had 2 little girls from the previous marriage. He owned one big house and made it into a duplex. His first wife and her children lived in one half and our family in the other. When I was one and a half he died and the two wives were left behind. As you can imagine, soap opera will not cover all of what was going on. They fought all the time but could not move away because it was not an easy thing to do during the Soviet time. My sisters and I were not allowed to play together or even speak to one another. Elena and Natalya are 11 and 9 years older than I am so by the time I started school they already moved away to go to college. I would’ve not been able to pick them out in the crowd of strangers!
Last year my mom passed away. I felt like I was finally free to reestablish the contact with them. I looked them up on Odnoklasniki.ru, which is like Classmates in the States. Elena now lives in Germany and wrote back the very next day. We have been talking to each other every week on Skype. Natalya is still in Ukraine and I talk to her through Elena.
I understand how those two guys feel. It is so nice to have someone that is your own flesh and blood, even if it is only half.
