Who Am I?

For the first time in 15 years my mom saw my face clearly today. You see part of being a diabetic for as long as she was in the past, took most of her eyesight. Thankfully and by some act of whatever god, her surgery was a complete success. I had to hold myself back from letting the tears gush from my face. I thought I would always remain but a

I remember your writings from looking into your adoption, I'd be lying if I said I wasnt inspired to do so myself when you went through it all.

There are many dead ends and many stories and many lies. One I thought I had gathered more information that I knew, only to find that information was just a cover to keep me happy while I grew up. I guess.. mom figured I had enough going on at the time.

I thank you for your positive feedback on this, and for your encouragement. I don't think I will give up, especially when I know I have friends like yourself to cheer me on.

Thanks Arphie, thank you so so so much. <3

Man, it's wonderful to hear about your mom's restored vision and health. :O Can barely imagine how painful it must've been to not see anything clearly for so long, including your own family.

Good luck with the genetic research. Hope you find what you're looking for; but even if not, you've still made quite a name for yourself. :3

I wish you the best of luck in your search man. I'm happy for the fortune of your mother regaining her sight. I can't imagine how happy you all must be.

I wish I could help you with your search for your families past,but I'm kinda no good for that kind of stuff. I don't even know the family history of my own father. But I hope you find what your looking for.

Good to hear about your mom. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my sight. And then getting it back again? It must be crazy...

I guess I never really thought about what it would be like not knowing my background. One of my aunts even researched our family history on that side all the way back to when they came over from Ireland during the potato famine. I can't say I know too much about my other side, except that they're german and came to canada after WW2. It is pretty neat knowing that kind of thing, though. Hopefully you can find a little out for yourself :O

Vision is one of those things you never quite understand how degraded it has become until an event comes along which reverses all or some significant portion of the damage. I'm glad to hear she's regained a good portion of visual accuity and clarity!
