From The Petting Zoo

My Sister is moving.....

Ok, for those who don't know me that well, I was adopted as was my older brother. At the age of 28 I went in search for my "birth mother." ( You should also know that I had a child at the age of 17, and gave her up for adoption.) In any case, I do have contact now with the child we gave away (Tara, and her son Adam.), and my birth mother Ellen, and her second husband Bruce.

This new family has also given me 3 half sisters ( in order of age) Bev, Colline, and Darlene, and a half brother Ken. It was actually my sister Bev who wanted to find me. And without going into a big long blog to explain the whole situation, I hope I have summarized it here. Bev is married to Darren, and they have 2 children Alex and Cassandra (Cassie for short.) Last July they come to the island for a visit. Even though the weather was not great, Bev really loved the island (Who wouldn't?) For a long over due first honeymoon, they came to Victoria in Feb. They came up for a visit on the week-end. After their first trip to the island, Bev stated that if she could, she would move here in a heart beat. But was not too sure how Darren felt about it. Then their second visit to the island, and again Bev said she would love to move here. But again, not sure how Darren felt about it.

Well I spoke with Bev on the phone the other day, and they are wanting to move out here, and would like to be out here for the kids to be able to start school in the fall. I am keeping my fingers crossed, and saying lots of prayers, that they sell their house and are able to find something out here that would be suitable for them.

This is going to be weird. Growing up, all I had was an older brother, and I always wished that I had a sister to spend some time with. Now I hope that will happen.
