Missing

My husband has children from his first marriage. They were adults when he divorced and for a number of reasons, he has not had contact with any of them for approximately 18 years. He has made his life with the here and now. We have a good marriage and George is a good father.
A couple of months ago, he heard from one of his sons. George got a phone call completely out of the blue.
"Hi, Dad."
Until that point, George had kept the separation from the kids of his first marriage in nice, albeit a little messy compartment. Only opened on occasion. He never stopped loving them. Allowed them their reasoning for not being in contact with his life.
"I just wanted to talk with you. I was asked why I hadn't been in contact and couldn't give a reason>"
George floated with that response and that call. There have been some emails and another call. He is waiting again.
Now he has the address of another son. He wants to reach out to him as well.
I have always wanted George to have contact with his kids. He is a good man and a good father to our kids. Those first have missed out.

But.
But I want my kids to not feel second best. I don't want them to feel like they have been supplanted. So we talk. We make sure.

His kids missed out by their choice. Our kids will not.
