Last week due to the events as they played out I made a post on a FB group that if anyone needed a friend or someone to talk to they can message or add me. Since we are being supportive of each other in these unknown times it felt like the right thing to do - both for me and others who may need someone. I got some messages and friend requests but then on Sunday mid-morning when I logged on I got a message from a lady with the same last name as mine. She told me she was from nearby and was asking me who I was. I answered and in a strange and wonderful turn of events we realized we are relatives! She's from my dad's side of the family - her husband is one of my cousins. My dad lost touch of most of his side years ago. I've been trying to find out more about his side of the family (mainly his mother's since we don't have anyone else now since his mother passed away when I was a little girl) but his side has been sort of a mystery, too! Well I knew about them through photos and stories but that isn't the same as actually knowing them! Just a few days later after we've been talking she asked if we'd like to go out to lunch this weekend. I'm able to do a breakfast time since I have plans that evening so that's what we planned on. It'll be a public place, in the middle of where we both live. Luckily Mike is able to go but my parents are not this time around. But this spring we are planning on having a family reunion. This has been some nice and refreshing news I wanted to share with you all.
