An entirely new family
So I did a thing...
I took the Ancestry.com DNA test hoping to find a brother and sister my father told me about from his first marriage. I've been looking for them for my entire adult life.
The day my test results came back I learned I had a 1st cousin. Then my "cousin" reached out to me to connect and as it turns out he was actually my nephew. His father is my brother and what is even more incredible is this is a brother I didn't even know existed. Now I have a half brother, two nephews, and great-nieces and nephews?
For this girl who just lost her mom and grew up an only child, it is amazing to meet more family. And we have the same hair color and similar facial structure.
The best part, they are incredibly nice humans who I am lucky to have met. Sometimes, life surprises you and makes you smile. What an incredible gift this has been.
