Yeah, thanks you guys! This really is looking like a great year for me. I talked to her this morning on the phone and it was really nice. She told me how she explained to her daughters who I was and they were really excited. And I'm going to her birthday party in a couple weeks too!

Well there....more than half the battle has already been won! Don't worry it should all work out for you both.MovieWes wrote:but I have a good feeling that this is going to be a completely positive experience. She told me that she's wanted to know me as badly as I've wanted to know her, so I think it's going to turn out well.
I also saw your update on Facebook. Am very happy for you.

I saw that on your facebook status and was wondering what the story was there. I'm happy for you that you feel so good about making this connection and wish you luck in beginning your new relationship with your sister.

I'm still trying to register what happened to me yesterday, because I don't think that anything this big has ever happened to me in my entire life up to this point, but I think that the biggest thing that has ever happened to me ever in my entire life took place yesterday. Forgive me if this post is all over the place because I'm still trying to work it all out in my head...
To make a long story short, I connected with my half-sister for the first time in my life yesterday. I've wanted a relationship with her ever since I found out about her when I was five years old, and I've seen her only once for about 15 minutes when I was eight, but that's it. But yesterday I got on Facebook for the first time in probably a month. I hadn't been on there in such a long time because the Internet is down at my house and Facebook is blocked at work. But I got on Facebook yesterday at school and checked my messages and noticed a message from my half-sister asking me if I was by any chance related to my dad. I immediately responded back telling her that he was my father and we chatted for about two hours and made plans to meet each other for the first time an hour later. So yesterday, for the first time in my life, I spent the day with my sister and met my two nieces who I'd never met before. We've agreed to start a relationship with each other and I'm praying that we do have a relationship because it's something I've wanted my entire life. I had all but given up hope that this would ever happen because when I was about 15 or 16 my dad and her began talking again and it didn't end well. We've agreed to keep my dad out of it for at least a year so that we can get to know each other on our own terms. I just hope it doesn't end like it did with my dad, but I have a good feeling that this is going to be a completely positive experience. She told me that she's wanted to know me as badly as I've wanted to know her, so I think it's going to turn out well.
