Ah-may-ZINGGG!

Great things are happening right now! As for me? They are!

I'll start with the most current event.

A bit of history:
My mother with held my birth stats from me. No one else seemed to know or maybe they didn't want to anger her by giving the information to me. When I asked her, several times throughout my life, the response was similar:
"It's none of your dam business!"

Umm, thanks, Mom.

Why is it so important? 
Well, just because it IS important to me.

Mom died in 1996. That's a story within itself.

After several years of trying different methods to find the information, today, I have it! The Vital Stats phone would ring several times, with no live person answering it. I may have simply been calling at the wrong times.

Today? I spoke with a live person! O yeah, I was jazzed!

Speaking with a very kind woman at Vital Stats in West Virginia (where I was born), she searched & found the information I have hungered for, wondered about for most of my life!
As I worked to contain my composure, I felt jolts of excited energy shoot through me as I wrote the information down.

Now, I have it!

Knowing where I come from, who my ancestors are, has always been important to me. It tells me a lot about who I am.
Even having my DNA analysis was a thrill!
It explains a lot to me.
Why my eyes are such a light green while my siblings eyes are darker.
Why my hair is strawberry blond. As hard as I try, the red always comes through! Mom had bright red curly hair.
My intuition, spiritually sensitive nature.
Interest in.....well......everything! I'm curious about everything!

Something that I found to be very interesting is that I'm 55% Native American. It makes me wonder, if my siblings who are still living, had their DNA tested, how much NA blood do they have?
The rest is mostly Scottish, Irish & German with English heritage in the smallest amount.

Interesting, yes?

I think so.

The thrill of the week, maybe even the month or year, is, learning my birth stats. 
It was less of a surprise that my birth weight was 6 lbs 12 oz. Still, I was pleased to have accurate information.
Mom was a heavy smoker, which was what ended up killing her at a relatively young age.

I will feel the glow of this wonderful happening, for awhile!

The Times of Life

Sometimes the day comes to let people go, even if you still love them, even if.....even if. Friendships are precious yet only when they are ...
