I was sitting at my desk today and got an alert that I received a Facebook message. I recognized the name of the woman sending the message but this is a message I never expected to get.
A few years ago I found out that my biological father had three other children. It was a serendipitous discovery but I never would have done anything with the information myself. Given that I am older than his other children, I always believed there was a chance they knew nothing about me and it wasn't my place to disrupt their lives with an introduction.
This message came from my father's youngest daughter. She introduced herself to me and then went on to let me know that he passed away a few years ago. This part I already knew.
I don't know what will come of this. I have answered her. I am happy to have heard from her. This is a door that I never expected to be opened. I am somewhat at a loss as to what to think, how to feel, what to say. It will come.
