it’s been way too long and today it finally happened. i promised myself that i would document it when i finally find her but right now words escape me. it’s such an amazing feeling to finally talk to someone that has always been a part of me. i only found out about her at the age of 21. my mom and i had a rift and she finally told me the truth about who i was (where i came from, etc). that was the only time she ever mentioned that i am adopted and that my “twin sister was adopted by another family.” ….wait what??? twin sister??? i suddenly felt like van damme in double impact! are you kidding me? i would always joke around as a kid saying i would love to have a twin sister because of all the tricks i would play with her as my sidekick. but never did i imagine in a million years that i really did have a twin sister! i had no information about her whatsoever. all i had was hope that we could meet someday.
today it happened! my aunt from a province where we all grew up somehow had her information…number, email, workplace. it turns out, she’s been looking for me for years. i’m meeting her tomorrow. 9:00am. tomorrow i start a friendship, sisterhood, & lifelong bond i’ve always wanted. closure? no. it’s just the beginning…<3
