I got in to Indiana last night and drove 2 hrs straight to the hospital...I guess I wasn't clear in my journal yesterday...my bio mom lives in Indiana, so I flew in to see her...

She was in a lot of distress and it was painful to see her that way...but I did tell her how thankful I was to have the privilege of getting to know her...and how much it meant to know she has kept me in her heart all these years. She had told one of my sisters it was such a relief to her to find out I had turned out OK...how much she had wanted me to find her...and that she could be at peace about me now...

I met some nephews and nieces for the first time last night, and the whole family was very kind to me.

During the wee hrs., I listened as each family member would come by and tell me of their favorite memories of her...there was laughter and tears and many hugs shared in comfort to each other...

I just now woke up after sleeping for a few hrs...don't yet know of the latest....so will be finding that out when I finish writing...

Sending you all my love and gratitude for making me feel that I am not facing all that I'm going through alone...it constantly goes through my mind that my (ex) bf isn't there for me to share this with...I guess it is for the best I don't know where he is right now, or I might have reached out to him for comfort...
