It was just incredibly exciting to me. I mean really. Then to be greeted in my mother's family with open arms, I just don't have the words.
My father's family (who I knew) has been more an attitude of curiosity. There is absolutely no doubt that my father never knew that my mother was pregnant and that he had no clue that he was related to me. He was the head administrator at my High School. Not in the area he grew up, and he didn't stay long....
Imagine that! Small world! And the plot keeps getting more and more interesting. "A family reunion and a curious event"
What a great description. Nailed it!
That's just the name of this chapter. I bet there are some other deserving of clever titles!
I can imagine the surprise for your father, knowing that he had a son who never knew of his existence.
The best of all is that you went without rancor and with open arms to look for your ancestors. @bigtom13
That's wild, being a school admin for you years later. Definitely a small world!
I know of one friend that this happened to. He never knew he got a girl pregnant until many years later. It's tough because as challenging as a pregnancy is, I feel like it needs to be communicated!
