I Can't Believe It. My Half Sister Contacted Me On Facebook.

You don't have to tell people about this "softer side", onodera.



Thanks very much to all of you. I'll probably end up meeting her at least once.
Little old woman.

What a great feelgood thread, about the internet making a profound positive change in people's lives. It's so unlike all of the MMO addicted cheeto-guzzling POS that I usually see around.

We're allowed one a day

Slow, I had a Half Brother, he died last Oct. He was just under 18 years older. History is as follow, Between 0 and 8 years old, I was told about him. Between 20 and 56, I call him 2 time and talk to him. In 2000, I call him and said I'm going to meet you in a few days, he said OK. I flew to MO. and stayed 4 or 5 days. Now I was calling him every 2 or 3 months. In 2003 while driving to Ga. with my oldest daughter, we stop in Mo and visited him for 2 days. Still calling once in a while. Went back to Mo in Nov 2007 and stay another 4 or 5 days. Now I was calling him once a week or more. When back in July of 2008, and stay 5 days. Now I'm calling almost every day until the end.

Go see your Sis. If everything works out, you will never be unhappy that you did. If thing go bad, at lease then you can decide on what your relationship will be.

Oh, I'm going to go see her. No doubt. My mom has pictures of Ginger and my mom sitting on a bench when Ginger was 4-5, before I was born by a couple of years.
She sent me a couple of messages tonight. My mother would mention Ginger in the past, and I didn't care. Big deal, no loss. I tried to reach her when Dad died, like I said, and no luck. This woman is so nice though. She's nothing like me.

Do you really want him to tell people about your "hard" side, Sloww?

I found my estranged brother on the Intertubes.

Congrats, Slowwy. This is cool stuff.

Can we ask why she was yer long lost sister?

[Zkribbler]

She works in non-profit, so that should count for something.

She must be a Democrat!!

This woman is so nice though. She's nothing like me.

See??

And she lives in Austin

I see pie in your future.

She was 3 when dad married my mom. Her mom wasn't married to my dad for all that long.
I don't really know, other than life happens.
