Wonderful news, Stephanie! I can relate very closely to your situation; my son (with whom I lost contact for several years, but have now come out to and who is very happy for me and supportive) is planning a visit here at the end of the summer.
It really is amazing how important family becomes to us; in a situation in which it sometimes feels that we have cut ourselves loose from society, their love and support makes all the difference.
Have a great time getting to know each other!
Annie
