Most everyone knows (it's never been much of a secret) that my sisters and I have an older (half) brother. Most everyone also knows that he was put up for adoption as a baby, about 35 years ago. So we of course have never met him.
About 11 years ago, he reached out and found and met our parents (his birth father). Us girls did not meet Mark then; it's a process and we knew he needed his space. He has kept in touch with me, on and off for years now. It finally came time that Mark was ready, we were ready, and he wasn't deployed, so we all met!!!
Mark also brought his kids, Amira and Dylan. They were able to meet their Great Grandma, Grampa, and Aunts!
We had a casual BBQ...lots of visiting and talkin' and games. The kids were awesome, and it was great finally getting to meet Mark! We hope to do is again sometime soon! ☺
