This has been the most
surreal week of my life. I honestly feel like I’ve been living in a dream… or
is it a nightmare?
It goes without saying that
2016 was a challenging year for my family. But so far, 2017 has already thrown
a couple of curveballs our way. I’m so happy that my brother is on the road to
recovery; he really gave us a scare earlier this week. Then there’s the
discovery that I now have a half-sister and a niece, something that the rest of
my family is slowly coming to terms with.
We all know families are
complicated, but I never guessed that mine would be this complicated. I know this news came at a shock to many of us,
especially Ma. Before she found out, I could feel the burden of what I knew
weighing me down, more and more every day. But now that the truth is out… it’s
a weight all of us have to bear. I
keep playing out hypotheticals about what would’ve happened if I’d kept my
mouth shut. Would everyone be happier? Would it have been the right thing to do?
It’s a bittersweet time in
my life. Sometimes I wake up feeling at peace that families are reunited because
of me. But other mornings I wake up in complete shock, and everything that’s
happened hits me like it’s the first time I’m hearing about it.
I guess there’s bound to be
collateral damage when emotions are involved, but I just hope that somewhere
between this madness, everyone manages to find some happiness.
And hey, I’m really
thankful I have you girls out there to share all this with. Knowing you’re out
there and that you care really helps, and keeps me from going mad!
Dear readers, I wish you
all a happy 2017 for you and your families, no matter how complicated they may
be.
Until next time…
