For anyone who doesn't recognise her, this is Toby's sister (and my step-daughter), Shae. It's been more than 7 years since I've seen her - the sad result of the divorce of a blended family.
Her dad has chosen not to see her, but Toby and I didn't have a say. I called her for her birthday and a few other times in the first year or so, but several house moves meant that we eventually lost touch. It also didn't help that her mum was given an incorrect phone number and address for us...
I searched the online white pages many times over the years in an attempt to find her, but was always unsuccessful. I've done online searches for her name and even looked on Facebook about a month or so ago, but had no luck.
Then, thanks to the wonderful worldwide web, she found Toby on MySpace. She has no interest in seeing her dad yet (can't say I blame her there) but she does want to see us, so hopefully we can organise that very soon !!
She's 15 now, so I've missed as many birthdays as I celebrated with her, but we can catch up ! She's also no longer my blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl...but she's still my daughter, and she always will be.
We love you Shae !!
