It’s amazing all the people you have been searching for who just appear online one day when you least expect them. My daughter, Ashley, from my first marriage was search for her half brother and sister for several years. The other day she called me and said, “Guess what?! I found them!” I had no idea what she was referring to but when she told me it was really great. I haven’t seen or heard from them in 16 years. So they are all grown up now and there was so much to learn about them. Ashley and Eric are both related to them through their dad. All four of them have decided that their dad isn’t really so important in their lives but that it is great to get to know each other. Ashley said she found them on myspace.com. I was amazed at how much Dusty looks like his dad and his uncle. Kristi looks a lot like her mom but her eyes are the same color as Dusty and Ashley’s too. Anyway, here are some pictures of all four of them. Do you think they look alike?
Dusty and Kristi
Eric
Ashley
I really can’t get over how they have changed. I remember them when they were little. Eric was a baby and Dusty was old enough to help out with him and play with him. Ashley thought Kristi was the greatest at that age. I remember when Dusty had a cast on his arm. They both had freckles when they were little. Dusty used to play legos a lot when he was little. Kristi used to antagonize Dusty when they were about 4 and 6. I have some good memories of them but we moved to Massachusetts and back and then when we moved back, they moved to Montana and then to Indiana eventually. With divorce and remarriage and moving on both sides, it was difficult to keep in touch but I am really glad they found each other and hope that they can keep in touch now. I have learned that Dusty has been married for two years now too. They have invited Ashley to come visit as soon as she is financially able to and she can’t wait. Eric feels like there is so much for him to learn about them. He feels like he barely knows who they are. I guess with time, it will be interesting for him to learn more about his family. I really do hope they keep in touch. I know Ashley will do her best to keep up with them.
Isn’t the www a great thing?
