Strange Days

This is my handsome husband Christopher Simon Mahana
This is Marco Mixco. You may be wondering who that is.
Marco is Chris' biological donor.
Can you tell? I can
Chris has a facebook account that he doesn't always look at. On Wed he got an alert on his phone saying he had a friend request waiting. (Strange because he doesn't get notified on his phone for anything facebook) Anyway it said Marco Mixco wanted to be his friend. It was then followed by an email saying something along the lines..." I think I may be your little brother"
Hmmm....So when Chris got home he jumped on and accepted and immediately the little chat box pops up saying, "I swear I'm not crazy but I think I'm your little brother. Is your dads real name Marco Mixco" (true) "Do you have a brother named Drew and a sister named Lori?" (true, they too were adopted as Mahana) So Chris calls his mom and we quiz Marco Sr. who had just found out his son found Chris online. Marco Jr. and Chris had been chatting for about 45 min and come to find out young Marcos mom knew but Marco Sr. did not know so it was a surprise for him too. So Jr. hands the computer to Sr. and we quiz him..."What is your moms name?" (Chris mom says he should answer Nelly) "Nelly Duke" Well lookey here. We've got ourselves a family reunion after 33 years. Apparently Sr. has always told Jr. about the other three kids and Jr.s mom found the adoption papers and discovered the new last name of Mahana and...now what was once lost is now found. Chris really wasn't looking to be found, nor does he really care but it has been fun. Jr. is only 17! The two of them chatted I would say for about an hour to an hour and a half. Well, Jr. Sr. and new wife all took turns asking Chris questions, and I got on and pretended to be him for awhile while Chris was on the phone with his mom.
I guess Sr.s dad has a lot of pictures of the kids. The youngest picture Chris has ever seen of himself is when he is about 2, until now. He is the baby in this picture and those other two are his brother and sister. Jr. has been sending him some pictures and it's fun to see them.

Anyway...So I turned the AC on in my car on Mon. Now that is strange. I mean it was February 1st!

That's crazy. It sounds like Jr is excited about it all. It will be fun to see baby pictures of Chris though.
