sometimes being in the presence of other's comfort and community oft brings rise to the loneliness within. Not knowing is one of the curiosities in mankind that lends to obsession.
glad you had a good day with your newfound family.
in the modern epoch, there are ways to satiate such curiosities, with diligent records searches. it's just hard to do so, especially if those we look for do not want to be found or are legally obscured.
@ThePyrate thank you for your words of kindness. Unfortunately, my birth mother is not out there waiting for me to find her. She passed away tragically from ovarian cancer when I was merely 7 years of age. This fall it will have been 20 years. My memories of her are faded, yet I still recall her loving smile.
And yes, Brittany, I am thankful every day for Deirdre to have adopted me (along with you and the others) and as always, I am sorry for what happened with your own birth parents.
If it were possible to talk to her I would tell your birth mother just how amazing her daughter turned out to be and that I love her (you) more than anything.
@ThePyrate heh I will be sure to make no mention to others of your kindness. But again, thank you. While my birth mother may have been taken from me far too soon, it was my adopted mother who molded me into the woman I am today. Nevertheless, I will forever be grateful toward both as they each played a significant role in my upbringing.
And @Hoz my love, I too wish you could have met her. I would have loved to introduce her to the kind, loving, handsome gentleman that you are. I believe she would be quite happy to see me at the side of such a wonderful man.❤️
glad you had a good day with your newfound family.
