Lillian Carlton says she had not seen or heard from her sibling for 17 years.
A gran was convinced that her missing brother was dead until seeing a Facebook post. Lillian Carlton, 65, says she had not seen or heard from her sibling for 17 years, reports the Liverpool Echo.
"He walked away from everything." However, there was a shock twist to the tale when care home staff posted about resident John revealed wishing to be reconnected to his family once again for Christmas. The 65-year-old then visited the care home the next day, December 13, to be reunited with her brother for the first time in 17 years. Lillian said: "I was very nervous but excited and emotional."Seeing John again, my whole childhood has come flooding back to me, with some amazing memories. I’m so overwhelmed.
"I always thought they fell out. When we were at the home I asked him 'why did you go out of my life?' “John was in the army for over 18 years and then, when he left, he would holiday around the world – Turkey being his favourite destination. Because there were nine of us, it was hard to keep in contact all the time.
