I met my Sister and Brother!

We spent only one wonderful afternoon together. We had lunch at Bob Evans instead of Olive Garden, and talked about the Father we all knew and loved. They talked about how Dad was just wonderful, how he drove with only one arm on the wheel and the other one around whoever was lucky enough to sit beside him in the car. We talked about his love of ice cream, the ocean, and his kids. We talked about how their mother kept him away from them and how my mother kept them away from me. Years later, we are across from each other and my sister said "I would know you in Wal Mart your my sister!"

We talked about life, realtionships, and hope to see each other for a real visit next summer, to stay together maybe in a cabin in the woods and see Dollywood. I told my brother that Mark my husband liked Dolly Parton. He said "I bet he has 2 good reasons why" haha..a comical one just like our Dad. I have not spoke to them since that magical day I guess I am letting it all sink in.. I will call them soon. I will call them brother and sister. I hope life is kind to them. I noticed Daniel's eyes smile like Dads..and my sister has his nose. What a day!
I thank God for this chance to get to know them!
