Family Lost, Family Found.

I have always had a sense of loss.  It seemed that I needed something, someone.  I just couldn't put my finger on it.  I wanted to find my Mother.  She gave me life.  I didn't know if she would want to know me.  I wanted to know her.  I prayed for help and I really didn't know how to go about the task of finding someone from so long ago.  I liked genealogy and tracing peoples roots.  It was kinda odd I couldn't do the same for myself.  I would try but it was like there was a brick wall.  No leads no past.  When God was ready He let me find her.  I was so afraid.  I called and got a recording so I left a message.  I told her who I was.  I used my birth name she gave me so she would know it was really me and not just a wild prank or something.  It was the most wonderful day when she called back.  I found I had 5 sisters and I was the only boy.  In one days time I went from no family other than my immediate one to a very large family.  I was so overwhelmed.   My mind was reeling.  It was so uncanny how much we were all alike.  I love my lost family with all my heart and I can't stop thinking about them.  I do hope that I can get to go and see them all.  It's gonna be a great homecoming.  I love talking to Mom and my sister.  There is no gift that has ever been as precious as finding my family.  I really just sit and wonder.....I get choked up and have no words to explain what I feel.  I walk around and I feel like I have a confidence I never had before.  I look forward to a life with my family talking and laughing and sharing each others love.  Miracles do happen and this one is mine.

More cold and rain.  It will be nice to see spring arrive.  It's just around the corner.  I always love to see the new sprouts and blooms.  I want to feel the warm sun on my face.  Sherry wants to plant a garden and that's a good idea.  I just don't know if I can get it done.

I have had some trouble with my old Chevy truck.  I first had a flat and then it needed a water pump. My son Mike fixed it for me and I love him for it.  I love my boys and daughter.  they are good to me and Sherry.
