My parents had me when my mom was 16 and my dad was 19. I never knew my dad and at some point in my life I put it in my head that they were too you and I never had the courage to ask my mother any questions about him. In reality I knew nothing about him.

On July 20th my aunt received a call from my sister. A sister(1/2 sister) that I never knew I head. While I will admit that I was shocked when I heard all this, for me it was one of the best days of my life. About a week after talking with my sister through email and meeting her, I began talking to my real father. There were so many things that I learned about myself and who I was. At some point in my life I felt it seemed as though I was opposite in many respects to that of my mother. In reality I was just like my father.

The only thing I would say is that attempting to meet your father and being the one doing the reaching out is that you need to proceed with caution. You really don’t know what you will find but as long as it is done in an open, honest, and caring manner then hopefully the gift you receive in return is the best gift that you will ever receive.

For me it was one of the best experiences in my life. There is a lot of pain associated with the experience and for the most part that is do to the question of what could have been if this happened 10 or 20 years ago. But I do have to say that any pain associated with it is so miniscule to the happiness that I have found.
