Paul,   I am not sure that you will get this, but I wanted to let you know what happened. We spoke that Wed, and she ended up driving out to see me on Thursday. It went well, almost too well. I ended up being the one that was way overwhelmed. She wants to suck me right into the family, and I went and met my sister and brother. I found all the history of the family and the backgrounds about medical and migration and even a bit about my father. She says she has a picture of him. I will get to see that whenever she finds it.

I wanted to thank you, and say that by far this has been the most mind bending experience of my life. I am not sure if you will ever take me up on this, but if you ever want to put some of you experience down on paper I would be glad to either contribute or even help write it - fiction or non-fiction. I am sure that what your experiences hold in wisdom the entire world would be touched by and humbled.

I have a whole new chapter here. The time now is not about finding them, and the struggle to do that seemed so immense. Not once did I ever really ask myself what the steps were afterwards. It just seems like this great prize to "know" and then one day you actually have to deal with the consequences. Bad is one thing - it hurts and you go on. Mike has been a solid assistance in the whole experience. But with good too - how, or should, these new people be integrated into life? They tell me that I am "back", and am a member of the family with all the boils, moles, love and so forth. But we barely know each other.

Blah Blah Blah. All emotional rumbling. LOL. My Buddhist mind just ran to the rescue there.

Anyway, I meant to just say thanks. And to say that I would be glad to help you in any way if you ever need it. I also would love to write your story, sell it to Hollywood, and bring the viewers to their knees.

Attached is a photo of me and Audrey, and one of Tany, Jamie, Audrey, and myself. This is your work. Thanks.

V/R,

Eric
