I am going to be talking about my brother, Gib. Also I will be talking about him finding his father’s side of the family. First, I will explain to everyone that my brother and I are 7 years apart and that we both have different fathers. Each of our fathers had walked out on us. It did not bother me as much as it bothered him. Several years ago, my brother had found out that his father had passed away and this troubled him greatly as he never got a chance to meet his father.
Recently he decided to do some research and find some family members on his father’s side to finally understand who his father was. With a lot of research and a lot of luck, he has found several of them. One was a step -sister of his father who happened to live in the same town that we grew up in. They spoke over the phone and will meet soon. Then he also found out that his father’s real sister lives an hour away from him so he decided to give her a call as well. She was very happy to hear from him and wanted to meet with him as soon as possible. She has children and one of them I remember is name is Tyler. Tyler and my brother has been talking to each other on the phone, facebooking each other, and finding out about each other.
This is all overwhelming and exciting for my brother. He has told me everything and wanted to make sure if I was ok with him telling me all this and I was. I am happy for him and I hope he finds what he is looking for and finds peace knowing his father. It seems to me that these people are very accepting of him and that’s amazing for him.
