I love myspace

why because I found my lost family...Suppose i should explaina little. When I was younger, whatever age you are in fifth grade I met this girl Aimee and we became best friends. Well back then I was never really looking for a friend but a family and her family took me in. Partly because i was just a sweetheart(really I was) and partly because they knew my mom wasn't around. I spent most of time with them and I was included in all of their family functions. By the next year I had to move in with my dad and we rarely had a phone as a matter of fact neither did this family, but every couple a years I would find them. Aimee had moved in with her grandmother, some serious drama on that one, and we had not been very close since I had moved away. However her mom and dad still took me in and I was their second daughter. When they, ok I , would pop back in their life it was like before I was part of a family that was filled with love. Besides Aimee they have four boys, my little brothers. About three years ago I had finally found them again, it had been at least three or four years before that I had seen them. Well I had finally gotten a phone number and left a message with mom(Pat) but she hadn't called me back so I didn't push it just figured i would wait a month or so and try again, I knew things were tough because she was going through a divorce and I guess they had been seperated for almost three years. That was a shock to me, dad was a truck driver so he wasn't home much anyways so maybe not so shocking, i guess. Anyway it was almost time to call mom again and this time I would be a little more persistant about a phone call back because winter was over and I was willing to make the hour drive to go see them. I got a phone call from my mo to read the obits in the paper, mom(Pat) had passes away. She had a brain anurism. I went to the calling hours and found my little brothers, well not so little anymore. It was so sad three of the four boys were home when it happened and mom was a stubborn woman, she had them call her oldest son not an ambulance. Maybe she knew and wanted to see him before she passed. I don't recall whether she did or not. I was able to see to dad at the wake, he was still a truck driver then and immediately headed up north as soon as he got the call. I have no words to describe that time. It was scary for everyone. The boys were given the choice whether to move to Oklahoma to live with their dad or to stay in new york and live with their sister Aimee. They chose Aimee but after a month or so all but the oldest moved with their dad. Last I heard the oldest was joining the Marines, but I don't think he did. I think he was soooo inlove with his high school girlfriend and he got his broken and between that and losing his mom and the rest of his family he is shattered. His myspace is scary and I am worried about him, I am going to have to figure out a way to get a hold of him. Oh yea the myspace thing, I just signed up there and made a profile and out of curiosity I looked the oldest up. I found his page but he hadn't been to it in over a year. So i figured I would try the other kids. It is scary to see how easy it is to find someone there, but at the moment soooooo worth it. I was able to contact the two younger boys and then I got to talk to dad on IM tonight. It is so crazy I can remember when all of them boys were born and I watched them grow up in their early years and now they are all grown up, well not totally but they are not little kids anymore. The youngest being fifteen and the oldest twenty. So dad is married again and living in Ok he is no longer a truck driver which is strange but he seems happy. I think if I make it to Co this summer I might have to figure out a way to make a detour for a day. We shall see.....
