Yes i completely understand what your saying it makes sense.
You see this is a first for me, ive never experienced it before and even though i have alot of family they are mainly in pakistan so ive never seen it.
Im starting to understand this now.
I havent contacted him at all (since my how are you text on wednesday) and i will wait for him to contact me first if he wishes to do so.
The rest ive left upto my dad who said he might call this weekend..
I didnt go home this weekend so i dont know if my dad has or not, will call home tonight and find out!
thanks for the advice everyone really appreciate it
