In the morning I am heading to St. Louis to pick up my DH (2nd from left) from the airport. He has spent the past 12 days in Florida visiting with his mom and brother. So what makes this an uberly special family reunion, you ask? They all had not seen each other for over 39 years!!!
I remember the first thing we ever did with our the first computer that was connected to the net was start searching for his lost mom and brother. We never did find her at that point, but did find some relatives on her dad's side. Unfortunately his grandpa had died already and no one had a clue as to his mom's whereabouts. We did search a little bit here and there over the years, but it just isn't easy finding a woman from that long ago.
Well, that all changed last month. DH's niece persisted long enough and along with the aid of a local library, they were found! So for the past 12 days, Mike and his sister, Michele (they did grow up together) have been on having the most special family reunion. I really can't wait to hear more stories and learn more about his 'new family.' It just isn't every day that you get to hug your mom that you haven't seen since you were 5.
So, I think I am all packed and ready to go bright and early in the morning. I should be back sometime on Tuesday. We are going to take advantage of some things the big city has to offer that West Plains does not. Nothing will ship tomorrow as its Veteran's Day anyhow (who was supposed to remind me of that anyhow?...I forgot!), but life around here should be getting back to normal sometime Wednesday, I suppose.
Ciao and happy trails to me!
