You know what’s really funny? Not funny, haha, but funny as in different, not normal, etc…. having family from your own side not just your in-laws that take notice of you, care about you and even want to know about you. After more than ten years of not having this in my life, it has been different getting used to the new responsibilities that this entails. Responsibilities you say? You know, those phones calls letting people know how you are doing, letters to those who don’t use email or even text messages. It’s those little things that I have had to get used to over the last few years.
You see, in finding my family, I really did find my family. They love me for who I am and care about my well-being. It’s a different feeling.
Aunt Betty tells me often that Turners are loving people and that her Dad, my Great Grandfather was one that cared and loved more than anyone she knew. I’ve found pictures, been given pictures and have heard stories. This man did so much that it would take a book to tell of his long life, who knows, maybe that will be next. Until then, I’ll have to keep doing my best to reconcile having family again. Hopefully, each day will continue being easier than the last.It’s good being a Turner!
