So. I haven't been on the net for a few days, mostly due to classwork and general business around the house. However there was something which temporarily sidetracked me from the two above listed items. The other day, I was reduced to tears, but not for a sad reason mind you.
When my Dad was a little boy, his Dad's only brother, Tom, committed suicide leaving still pregnant mother of his unborn child. That little boy would be named after his father and would visit my father, his cousin, once or twice while still a toddler. Once they were both adults, they were reunited just once when Tom decided to search out his father's side of the family which he knew absolutely nothing about.
After that, contact was apparantly lost. My Dad tried for years to find his cousin, but couldn't and unfortunately went to his grave without knowing what happened to his cousin.
The other day, my Mom finally found him! We're going to meet him for the first time in October! I broke down crying when mom told me she'd managed to get contact, because I knew that one of Dad's wishes came true <3
I just wish Daddy had been here to see it become a reality :C
I've learned that Tom has a daughter who is roughly 12 years older than me, and she has twin baby girls who are 1 1/2 years old. Hnnng I wanna see what my 2nd cousin and her babies look like sooo bad <3
