Out of my comfort zone

So the few of you that read this know that after over 20 years of searching for information on my dad I found his family this year. I really thought when I found him I'd just look at his Facebook page, see what he looked like and not make contact. However when my search found that he passed away 25 years ago, that I had siblings, I decided to reach out. See if family would tell me about him, maybe have pictures. I'm an extremely guarded person. I was overwhelmed with how quickly they reached out and had lots of information and family pictures. It's crazy that my son has the same name as my brother I never knew about and how my oldest looks so much like that brother and my dad. This is all very new and I'm very new to this getting out if my comfort zone thing. I'm really glad I did though. It's really cool to see where you came from, the family you didn't know and to learn bits and pieces about your dad. Eventually we will meet, I hope to learn more about my dad and find the sister I didn't know about.  For now it's just cool knowing there's more family out there.
