1st of November 2023 I rang my long lost brother and left my contact details

I also sent him a letter.
The name I found was exactly as my brothers is, with the surname spelt the same, which is very rare in Australia.
Odds of it being him were very high, I would have thought.
No response. Looks like I left it too late. I had his number for at least two years but done nothing about it.
My letter was not “returned to sender”.
Most people simply throw letters not addressed to them in the bin. I always repost them with “Not at this address” written on the front.
Though I am a fossil and people will think it foolish to do such a thing these days.

Did he answer the phone?

No, an answering machine which only stated, Leave a message.

Is the address you have for him too far for you to travel to? :heart:

Welcome to the forum, Dev
Yes, it is over 2,000 km away.
If my phone message was not returned that would indicate it was not my brother?

Possibly his home doesn’t want a brother! … :coffee:
