Well folks, life got in the way of my life so I’ve taken some time off from a lot of stuff. I think I previously posted somewhere in July of 24 we went to the lake and I caught a staph-infection. Five docs, 12 prescriptions and 6 months later before I could do anything which resembled normal activities.
Five or six years ago my kids gave me 23and me for fathers day. As I value my privacy, it sat until I was trapped in the house with Staph. I decided to send it in just to find out potential health risk for the kids. (I’m adopted so no family medical history.) Turns out we’re fairly healthy people.
But the kicker is the big bold typed words at the top of the page.
THIS IS YOUR SISTER…
THIS IS YOUR MOTHER…
I found my bio-family. I’m the oldest of four, two sisters and a brother. My mom is 77 and still with us. We talk fairly regular and in two weeks I’ll meet all my siblings and a bunch of nieces and nephews. They’ve always known I was out here but had know way to find me. They’ve put there DNA out there for personal reasons, with find me as a hopeful bonus.
I’ve cried like a baby multiple times, I’m even get’n a bit choked right now. The flood of emotions is overwhelming. Relief, excitement, nervous, and a whole lot more, all at the same time, wave after wave.
Finally people who look like me. Understanding where characteristics, features and tendencies come from. The similarities go way beyond looks.
Anyway, I haven’t forgotten about y’all, I’ve just had some major distractions.
I haven’t grown anymore, in part because I’m still stocked pretty well from the last grow, but mostly because I’ve been too busy.
Thanks guys for letting me share, I’m gonna try to be around a bit more, need to get some Grand Daddy purple started one of these days.
