Good news in my life has been happening lately.Talked to my dad for the first time on the phone this morning,my husband saw tears of joy coming out of my eyes.He abandoned my mom when she was pregnant with me.He figured out I was a little upset with him and told me to calm down.Did that and mentioned he wanted to make things right with my mom and I.It was very tough for me growing up without him in my life,mom dated guys that I thought were father like figures and were not.Luckily my husband understands as well,he never grew up with his dad in his life.Dad left too when mom was pregnant with him as well.Did his search for his dad 2 years ago,his dad passed in 1981 from a cold blooded murder.My 42nd birthday is next month and he is going to be there.Been searching for 5 years,mom is going to see me much happier.He talked to my mom first and going to be excited to reunite with him on my 42nd birthday.

Said it did haunt him for a long time and regrets leaving my mom when she was pregnant with me to this day.He missed a lot in my life,a few are when I graduated from high school,went to college and when my husband and I got married which will be 20 years in January.He fathered all girls,he has twin daughters that recently turned 40 and another daughter that will be 38 next month.Plus I told him that he has a 24 year old granddaughter and two grandsons whom are 15 and 17
Congratulations on your good news. I hope that you and your mum are able to rekindle a good relationship with your dad.
I live near Toronto Ontario Canada. Recently, a woman on Facebook reached out to a group that I'm registered with on Facebook, for people who attended the high school that I went to in the '70s. She had been adopted right after birth, and has spent most of her life in the States, and currently lives in Texas, but her birth parents both attended the high school that I went to, at the same time I went there. Her mother was in my grade 9 home room class. This woman in Texas was trying to confirm the identity of her birth father. I was able to help her with some information, and she tracked down the person who is her step brother. With the help of a DNA test, she was able to confirm the identity of her father. Both of her birth parents have passed away now, but she's having a happier Thanksgiving this year, knowing more about her roots.
I know its not exactly like your story, but sometimes I'm just amazed by the randomness of life, and how people are able to reconnect with their past. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving as well.
