[quote=Anonymous]I think if all the rest of you (meaning, besides the resurfacing person) can agree ahead of time to make it light and not ask anything like, "where have you been/why didn't you return my calls" but only say stuff like, "Great to see you!/I'm so happy to see you! Let me introduce you to my daughter Larla!" It could be a really nice day for all, and the beginning of more nice events. Which would be a gift from all the siblings for your dad. And you know, the story will come out in time. But I bet that sibling will be pretty nervous or anticipatorily defensive when they walk in, and it's got to be hard for them. So if you can get everyone else in line ahead of time to not ask questions but just be pleasant--just tell them this is not the day to satisfy years' worth of curiousity.[/quote]
