So I am about to leave California and the past two weeks have been hard. I actually found out from an aunt something that I had suspected for a few years, after hearing my mom talk to someone when she thought I was out of the house. I may have a sibling, other then my brother and sister who died at 3 days old. I guess mom got pregnant before she was 18 and the baby went to adoption. So now comes the fun of looking for a sibling.

How difficult it must be...

...learning only after your mother's passing with no way ask questions? And so soon after losing your mom and the stress of all the preparations. Having to guess instead of getting long-overdue answers? I found out recently that I have two aunts and an uncle in California; the children of my mother's father with another woman. And a few cousins from what I've learned. Finding out only after all of my mother's siblings and she have passed; it was difficult. I can only imagine how torn you might feel after such a difficult two weeks. My prayers to you.
