Sometimes, you can think things through too much.

 

The Hobo putting too much thought into something? Surely you jest, G!

Good luck, Hobo. My ex-wife who was given up for adoption at birth located her birth parents when she was 28. Turned out pretty well for her. I know it's a different situation in your case, but still shows that there can be happy reunions. If you don't take that first step, you'll never know what might've been.

 

Is that the "collective you?" .... or the specific ME? LOL! Either way, I get your point. But, this is pretty much the thing I've thought the MOST about for all these years. Political discussions on CAD are really just a distraction. (okay... maybe a little more than that.)

 

I just noticed this thread. Guess I missed it when I was so sick a few weeks ago.
I hope you get in touch, and get to enjoy the years ahead with her. Good luck Hobo!

ha...I don't know the first thing aboot facebook either.

 

Thanks for the "levity" my friend. We wouldn't want Hobo to be "fockking boring" on his OWN thread about a family issue.

I wish my mother had started sooner. At that age, she had a family to care for and a "two grandparent" family to continue. It was my parents' decision. I never suffered from THAT. I just wish my Mom had known her siblings all along. One of her brothers died before she regained contact. I've met most of the others. She has a baby sister with many medical problems. I believe that SHE (my mother) has grown stronger by "regaining" her original position of "surrogate parent" for her "brood." Such is the power of love and family.

All situations are different... maybe UNIQUE. Mine certainly is. But, so are so many others'. I can only say that I have learned much from the examples "others" have posted here. And I am very thankful.

 

Thanks, Hoggie. Your "excuse" is duly noted and appreciated! You've been going thru MUCH more than I lately.

My daughter and I are both in good health. If she knew you even as much as I do... she would agree with me that YOUR situation is of more importance.

GOOD LUCK back.... and thanks again for joining in.

 

Maybe, the reason Hoggie noticed this thead was that I wanted to update it, and had to respond to a few posts first.

I am still deep in thought (and discussions with my mom) about this.

I was concerned that my daughter might not "revisit" her facebook account since it had been a year or two. Here's the shocker (for me) ...

She updated her profile PICTURE. I don't know why. I don't really care. It proves that she is still "interested" in this form of social media.

It gives me hope. It almost makes me think that God's angels are in control. [but, I would need more proof.]

 

So.....what are you going to do, hobo? Time to fish or cut bait.

 

What G said!

 

The only way your questions will be answered is by YOU taking the first step. You really have nothing to lose at this point.
