Briefly late FiL was a Barnardos boy. His children know almost nothing about his past. I did meet him a few times but he died before we were married, so don't feel like I knew him. DH wanted to contact Barnardos after FiL past away but MiL was very anti the whole idea. MiL has been gone several years. DH has now been in touch with them and today received a letter saying they have his records including photos !! This has really touched me and I feel emotional about the whole thing. I'm happy for DH who at the moment seems quiet shell shocked. Why the emotion when I never really knew the man.
