This all started back in 2000, my mother was going through heart surgery and I was informed the true identity of my father. Mom apparently changed her name to hide the fact that she was pregnant and not married. So I looked for a couple years and found nothing. Then I received an email from a gentleman of high standing in our community that his father and mine were cousins.He gave me a couple names of uncles and informed me of a brother and sister that I had.
Well you can imagine how uncomfortable the phone call was, but it was made. Then the trip to see them. When they pulled out pictures of my father I was in shock. It was my dad. I remember little about dad, but not how he looked. Dad died in 1970 of Lou Gehrig's disease, but i still remember how he looked. Well the family accepted me with open arms and now I had a family. Mom never married or had any other children so it was just me.
Then it came time to meet my brother and sister. Our age is 13 months apart, so there is not that big of an age difference, and my sister is 3 years younger than me. When we met it was like looking into a mirror, scary. Then when we went to eat, wow, genetics does play a big role in what a person eats. It was an all you can eat place (is there any other) and on our plates were the identical foods placed the same way. Then I met my sister and that was just about as scary.
Anyway I have been accepted into a large loving family and when mom was sick she came came clean with everything. Leaving no more holes in my life. and my brother and sister have been accepted into a large and loving family.
