Six Degrees of Separation continued...

Well it seems that yesterday's blog post created some interesting discussion so Kym thought that another blog post would be appropriate....

A number of Kym's friends posted comments on Facebook regarding their experiences and as Kym was writing a new blog post for today, another six degrees of separation incident came to her regarding her younger half brother.

Kym doesn't have any contact with Tim, and not that she hasn't attempted over the years. She has called and left messages on their answering machine, sent birthday cards and Christmas cards, and sent invitations to birthday parties, but to no avail. Anyway, a couple of months ago Kym;s Mum told her the following story...

Kym's cousin, Gael, went to the Gold Coast to attend her Grandson's graduation from Year 12. As they were sitting in the audience watching each of the students walk across the stage to receive their 'award' her Grandson walked across the stage with a young man named Tim Neville. Kym's cousin, Gael, was curious about this and new that Kym's Dad had a child, but did not know what his name was, but was now excited to think that this boy could be his son (Kym's father's name was Tim Neville also). So when Gael returned home she rang her sister, Sharon, and asked if she knew, and then Sharon called Kym's Mum (Gael and Sharon's Aunt) to confirm if this boy was in fact their Uncle Tim's son. It turned out that Vitha, Gael's grandson, is close friends with Tim, Kym's half brother.

So Kym decided to contact Tim through Facebook. When she did a search using his name she was unable to locate him, but then she had the brainwave to find Vitha through Gael's Facebook site and find Vitha's Facebook site which consequently had Tim as a friend, so Kym invited him to be her Facebook friend and he accepted. He is also friends with Kym's children, Jordan and Katherine.

Kym is confident that she will now be able to have some form of contact with him and is looking forward to connecting with him.
