My grandmother is dying

Goodness, that's one heck of a family tree...

[az_starshine]

Yeah. I know being adopted, it's a fear of mine to find out Mike & I are related....

[eska818]

Oof, what a terrible way to find that out.

[az_starshine]

Yeah. :( I was thinking on my way to work yesterday and thought it would might have been a nice ending if Stephen's dad was still alive then he could have met his birth mother, but what a weird, awkward situation that would be.

Horrible, but very very believable. I enjoyed reading this.

[az_starshine]

Thank you! Like I said before, as an adoptee I dread the possibility of someday experiencing something like this myself.

[kehlen]

You, and your kids possibly as well, even though for them the connection would be more comfortably removed.

I really enjoyed the twist in this. It started out as a poignant story about the Grandmother, and became something much more.

[az_starshine]

Thanks! I really enjoyed this one...I just got an idea and ran with it. Trying to wait until I got off work to write it was the hardest part.

This seemed so real, I was sure it was nonfiction. Really well written!

[az_starshine]

Thank you! If I can do that, then I'm doing something right.
