Ok, so its been quite a minute since my last post. Life has gotten in the way of me consistently posting. I'm not gonna say much cuz if I attempted it would be entirely too long. So, I'll just pics of my Dad and 2 sisters. Maybe tomorrow I'll talk about the nice (smch!) little message my Dad's wife left me. If I have the time I might just transcribe it so you all can get the full effect. Anyways, here you go.

My Dad



My Sister - Jhana



My Sister - Ariana



Well, there you go...that's me other side. Aren't my sisters gorgeous? Yup, I know they are

Ok, so, my Dad still hasn't come to visit :( but he still is coming. He's had some business stuff he had to handle, but really I think he's really trying to balance being excited that I'm in his life and the fact that his wife isn't sharing in that excitement at all. I asked him about how she was handling the news and he was very careful in what he said. I could tell he was trying to protect my feelings, which I love him for. That's the kind of thing I always imagined a Dad would do. Anyways, he told me that she'll come around and that it was just taking her a while, but that he did wish she could and would share in his joy. He definitely told me not to worry about it and I don't. I do pray for her and my 2 sisters. I can't imagine being on their end of this situation. I hope she openly communicates with my Dad about her feelings and becomes open minded about me being in their life. I do hope to have a relationship with her and my sisters one day.

On the flip I've talked to both of my aunts., Carla and Jennifer, and my Grandma Geri. They're all so sweet and cute. I have noticed in my brief conversations with them that this whole getting to know eachother phase seems more awkward for them than it does for me. Its like they're trying to extend themselves but they don't know what to say. It's like as soon as they say hi they are saying bye. I laugh on the inside because I do appreciate them calling and checking on me, but also because I really wish they'd relax a little. But again I couldn't imagine what's going on in their brains at all. All they know is they have a neice/granddaughter who is 26 and they know nothing about. I'm thankful that it hasn't been that way with my Dad. We're becoming more and more comfortable with each other with each conversation. I guess it's a good thing he didn't come down right off the bat because now we'll be familiar with each other to some extent. Apparently everytime my grandmother talks to him she pushes the fact that he needs to come see me and I really appreciate that. He said that when he tells me a specific date that he will most definitely be coming and he should know soon when that will be.

Also, since we can't go to his brother's wedding on June 27th in Belize he said he wants to try to plan a trip over the Christmas holidays. :) Oh Jesus please! Work it out! I really want to go down to Belize and meet my family and really immerse myself on the other half of me.

PS. I learned that my father was born in Jamaica and according to my Jamaican friend that makes me Jamaican to... I didn't quite agree with him. Although,. if it does qualify me as Jamaican then it truly makes sense of some things about me. Anyone who really knows me knows why it would make sense. What do you say?
