Branches Part 7: The Crew

After meeting my second sister in person, I'm overflowing with joy as DNA discoveries continue to transform what used to be a tough season into one of unexpected family connections and healing. • Traveled to Florida for my sister Robin's 60th birthday celebration despite flight delays and maintenance issues • Met sister number two in person after months of daily group chats and weekly FaceTime calls • Experienced the emotional impact of seeing my nephew, who bears a striking resemblance to my late daughter • Celebrated with new family members, including four nieces, two nephews, and two great-nieces • Connected so naturally with my sisters that friends asked if we grew up together • Recognized the bittersweet reality that my daughter will never meet these relatives • Discovered another potential sister who recently came forward through DNA matching • Balanced the joy of new connections with processing the complicated emotions about parents' past choices • Acknowledged that DNA journeys can involve rejection, though mine has been positive so far • Continue sharing parts of our story while keeping certain aspects private God loves you, I love you, and ain't nothing you can do about it.
