There is such a plethora of emotions that I have experienced over the past few months, I truly am not the same person, but better. I feel connected.

To discover I do have half siblings after all these years of wondering is amazing and has left us all grateful for finding each other now. My brother and I bonded pretty quickly through phone calls and finally meeting. We live only a 3 short hours away from each other and have managed to see and visit with each other 3 times in the past 3 months. We even had a weekend with both our families on vacation together. I felt like I was in a dream the whole time and spent most of my time just watching all of the activity and trying to soak in all my eyes could hold.

Finding my brother went beyond my own dreams. Now I am living out that dream. I had always wanted to know if I had any siblings that looked like me on the outside… now that I know him, I feel like I found someone that looks like me on the inside too! Blessed indeed!
