NDR - We got bitter-sweet news yesterday..
« on: November 30, 2007, 06:03:06 am »
Yesterday my mom got a question on E-Bay from another user in California. The person asked, "Would your maiden name happen to be Deal? If not, I am sorry to have bothered you." My mom wrote her back and said "Do I know you? The only people I know in California are relatives I have never met. And to answer your question, yes it is." She replied very quickly. Ok, we need to go WAY back for a moment.

My grandmother when she was 19 married a man named David. She had 2 children with him. My mom, and my Aunt Sherry. Things didn't work for them and they went their own ways. She never heard from him again. Ok, back to what I was saying...

When she got the reply, it shocked us all. The woman is my mom's sister. Her name is Eva, she is 23. She has an older sister named Lisa, age 31. Eva has no children, but Lisa has 4. Unfortunately, David died in August.

There is just so much catching up to do with them. It's just, wow.. Sad that my Grandfather I never got to know died, yet, we are about to go down a whole new road and learn about a family we never knew we had.  I just wanted to share that with you guys  :) Here's some pictures of David that Eva gave us.

Awwe. Looks like he was happy. Like you said, it sucks that you didn't get to know him but at the same time it's cool that you have more family!!
