The happiest day of my life......June 2, 2005
I first have to give the history. Ok.......I haven't heard from or seen my godfather since my grandmother's funeral in 1996. He has totally broke off from the Finn side since my uncle divorced his wife (it was about time). He wants nothing to do with us. Last year we had another one of our Finn family reunions. I found out his email address and emailed him telling him what was going on with me and that I really want to see him....well no reply. For the past couple of months I have been getting those chain letter emails from tfinn@rosina.com. My uncle's email is very similar....tfinn@aol.com (or something like that). I was at first wondering why I was getting them from my uncle since he told me that he only checks his email once a month and doesn't know how to do anything on the computer (old people these days...lol), but I still automatically assumed that it was my uncle sending me those because I just looked at the tfinn part. I got this really cool math trick yesterday from tfinn@rosina.com. I sent it to my dad because he LOVES math tricks. He calls me up asking me who sent it to me. I told him that it was Uncle Tommy. No....it was my godfather...Cousin Tommy!!!! I almost cried...I was SO happy. I replied to him explaining why it took so long for me to respond to those chain letters and that I miss him SO much. I went to check my email about 15 minutes after I sent it and saw that I had 2 new emails....I just knew that one was from him...I felt it. I opened it up and sure enough it was him. The last time I was his son, he was like 1 or 2. He is turning 11 in 3 months! I didn't even know that he had a daughter who just turned 4 3 weeks ago. I wanted to cry so bad, but I was at work. I love him so much. I am just thinking about the night that he surprised me. I was sound asleep (and I am a DEEP sleeper) and I heard his voice and woke up....he was there! I just remember everything.....he was my best friend. I am so happy....but I don't want to give my hopes up in case he stops talking to me again. Whatever, I can be happy for once, right? lol. Let me stop before I start crying.
