Filling in Gaps

In the post Father's Day wake this article struck home on a few points. Most of the author's experiences are not like my own, but there are a few. I know my father has been ill and am expecting the call at any time that his time is up. We never really met. I sent him a brief note and a few photographs of my son a couple of years ago. He never replied. My stepfather raised me. He's a great man and I do not thank him enough.

I have a half sister I've never met either, but she is on Facebook. I sent her a message last year and she replied then immediately added me. We have a sporadic, but cordial contact. I'm sure we'll meet someday.
