    This was the most difficult article I have ever written and I hope people find joy in the stories of Dec, Peggy, Linda, Paul, Sandy, Dougie and Jo. Certainly now more than ever, we are all realising the importance of family.

        Special thanks also to @harrybordenuk (has been great getting to know you!) and @christopherbarrphotography for their wonderful portraits, though I do look a bit silly... And to everyone at the Guardian for bringing the stories to life and encouraging me https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zjBU0g1lB/

        I re-found and contacted my younger brother (like you, I don't think of him as a 'half') after a gap of 12 years, when he was 24. It was the best thing I ever did. His girlfriend (now wife) had no idea he had any siblings. It wasn't a smooth ride but he is how part of the family.

        Brilliant! I'm so pleased to hear. In the year that I've been researching I've realised so many people have estranged siblings, some of whom they have welcomed into the family, while others remain distant for one reason or another. Glad that stigmas are beginning to fade
