Story continues.... in Slowing Down

Mike met Dale and his wife Maryanne. He then reported to me what type of family they were and he insisted I get my DNA tested. OK. One step at a time. A date was made for all the information to be here in my hands by February 11 for my Mothers 102 birthday. At that time my Daughter and I would meet Dale and his wife and all of us would go see my Mom. My family tripled in size. There was Mike and his husband, Greg, Michelle and her husband, Brian and her daughter{my grandchild} and her husband, and Dale and Maryanne, their two children, Jon and Cassandra,. Jon had one child and Cassandra had 5 children {my Great Grandchildren}. WOW! I haven’t met Jon or Cassandra or the great grandchildren yet, but one of these days I will. Dale and his family live in Southern California near my Son. Mike is delighted to have an older brother. My daughter talks with Dale thru the computer. Michelle has moved her complete family to the state of Washington so all of us are on the West Coast now.
I am not the huggy, kissy type of person. So I shake hands with my new son and his wife. It will take me sometime to get use to having a third family. Things are beginning to settle down and my stomach is becoming normal again. And that folks, is what has been going on for the past year.
