Yeah I'm super happy right now! Just a little worried about how her mom is gonna take it, cause just like I thought...she had no idea she had sisters.
This was my reply to her message:
You don't sound ridiculous at all...actually you're really articulate for a 15 year old, heh. I'm so happy you got back to me!
First, I found you well, through here...I didn't even have an account on Facebook till I found you. I have always thought about you and wondered what you would be doing now (the last time I saw you, you were only a year old, just after our dad died). I always knew that one day I would find you and get in touch, but not ever having been in such a situation before, I wasn't really sure when the most appropriate time would be.
So yeah, I thought "Hm, I wonder if she'd use Facebook" and searched your name with my friend's account. Since you were the only result, I figured it had to be you. Plus, you look SO much like my other sister (your sister too, her name is *****)...annnnnd I peeked at your friends list and everything else fit...your age, and the fact you went to French school (I assume...I know ***** went to French school when he was younger).
And that was that...I made this account just to contact you - I was really anti-Facebook until then.
I thought about it for a few weeks, just thinking what the hell I would say, because I didn't know if you knew about us or not. But I figured, either way it's gonna be a shock.
***bunch of personal info here****
Jeez...I have a baby picture of you still on my dresser! I picked your middle name (******)! I don't know how else I could prove that I am who I am...hopefully these links work (copy and paste them into your browser window):
This is a picture of ***** and I a few years ago:
And this is us with our dad on his wedding day, to your mom!:
I kind of had a feeling you wouldn't know about us...we were still teenagers when our dad died, and to be honest we didn't really have a good relationship with your mom.
I'm not looking to stir anything up or cause problems...not between me and your mom, and certainly not for the two of you. In fact, I'd really love it if I could see your mom...and if you decide you'd like me in your life, then of course I expect your mom to be involved.
I would really love to meet you!! When you're ready of course...and if you want to talk to your mom first I think that's best.
This is pretty crazy, huh?
