Eighth grader meets brother for first time

If you have ever ridden a roller coaster you know the feeling.
You are excited and nervous at the same time. You don't know if you should laugh or cry. Well that's the way I felt when I interviewed Tiffany Douglas, a South Middle School eighth grader.
Tiffany had never met her older brother until earlier this month. She was nervous before they met. "I hope we get along and get to see each other more," she said.
Tiffany and her brother had never met because he lived with his mom and it was too far for him to come, Tiffany said, adding that her brother would have felt like a stranger because he did not know his dad, but her brother Todd decided that it did not matter and he wanted to meet his little sister.
The meeting went even better than Tiffany expected. Todd had planned on staying here for a few months, but he liked it here so much he decided to stay for good and Tiffany can see her brother whenever she wants.
