I just have some bizarre news that I want to share with you all. It is a long story that you won't fully appreciate since you are not from my hometown but I want to share it anyways!! Lol!!! I'll try to cut it down as much as possible.
My mom has never known her biological father. He and my grandma were only married for a VERY short amount of time, they were fresh outta high school and my gma got pregnant so they got married and then while she was pregnant he left her for a 14 year old!!!!!!! They ended up getting married and having 3 children together, but he never came back to my grandma or ever had anything to do with my mom. My grandma got married very shortly after that to who I have always know as my grandpa and my mom has always known him as dad and he was the one of the GREATEST men you would ever know!!! I really wish it was his blood that is flowing through our veins because he was a wonderful man!! ANyways, my grandma told my mom about her real dad when she was 12 but neither one ever pursued finding him - he was a loser - and then about 5 years ago he died of cancer - that was curable but he didn't want cured - he was living homeless out in Nevada. So, then my mom sat me and my sister down and told us about it. We were very shocked!!! I guess over the years she had met her 1 sister and 2 brothers that were his, I didn't know that either until yesterday.
So, here is the crazy part. Yesterday my mom ran into the sister at her work and they sat and talked for a long time and she was telling my mom that they have yet another sister from another affair he had and told her who she was, and she is black - which is no big deal - but she is the mother of 2 VERY WELL KNOWN boys in our town who play for big name colleges and one of them is training right now for the NBA and has until June 18th to make a decision as whether to stay in college for another year and graduate or go ahead into the NBA full time. But the even Crazier part is that my husband has always been very good friends with boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He hung out with them in school and still keeps in contact with them!!!!! So, now we are going to try and get together and share this CRAZY news!!!! The one that maybe going into the NBA is Dominic James, he plays for Marquette right now.
Anyways, I know this means nothing to you all but it is exciting to learn about family you never knew you had and to know who they are maybe get to start family relationships with them. We never has aunts or uncles or 1st cousins growing up and I always wished we did, well, we do and now we finally may get to meet all of them!!
