Siblings

It was National Siblings Day last Friday. Does every person/animal/thing get a special day now? Isn’t it all too weird and narcissistic?

I shouldn’t talk… I used to harp about having a National Tricia Day. Better yet, an International Tricia Day!

On Friday I did click on my sister’s Facebook page to see what she was doing. Then I clicked on her husband’s page. I look in on them every few days so there’s nothing unusual about any of this except for one little fact.

My sister has no idea I exist.

I should clarify, she is my half-sister and she has no idea I exist.

I was put up for adoption a few years before she was born. My existence has always been a secret.

Well it was a secret until the BC Government allowed me to open up my adoption papers. So it’s not a secret anymore.

My mother and I know the truth and I have promised not to tell my sister.

The temptation to look at someone you share DNA with is just too strong. I like to see what the family is up too. A couple of years ago my sister posted a picture of my mother. That was the first time I had ever seen her face.

So on National Siblings Day I stalked my sister. And she was oblivious to it all.

I’m glad some people don’t know the benefit of keeping their Facebook pages private.

Insert evil laugh here…

      I’m good with the current situation… who knows what will happen in the future. And yes, some sisters are great, but some maybe not so much 🙂

    Your family that doesn’t know you exist also has no idea who they are missing. I feel very sad for them.

    But then again, more of your time for those of us who do have you in our lives!

    I am just reading a terrific (for me) book, entitled MY SECRET SISTER. True story, Tricia, and I think you might like it, or identify. Bought it at Costco, and wish it would not end.
