Awesome post, Julesđź’— So pleased that you get to have a relationship with your other older sister now too. Very special. Wow, there seem to be a ton of stories like this from back in the day. My Mom met her older sister when my mom was in her 20's. My gran had an affair during WW2 whilst my Granddad was stationed in Egypt. She wrote to tell him and the father of the child was no longer around. My granddad at first wanted nothing to do with the baby and wrote to my gran telling her this... but later had a change of heart and wrote another letter saying that he understood and would raise the baby as his own... sadly she had already been put up for adoption... and in those days... although she was only in the foster care system and not yet placed with a family, my gran could not get her back. it was tragic. So my aunt grew up in the foster care system, spent her life in catholic boarding school and was never adopted. So sad... she also used to scour the telephone directories of every place she visited and make umteen phone calls... she had almost given up when she had a feeling one day and told her husband that she wanted to try just one more time...lo and behold... she found my gran! My mom was thrilled to have an older sister as she grew up only having brothers. My aunt is one of the funniest people I have ever met. A born storyteller with a heart of gold and the best sense of humour out. The tales she told from boarding school... what a little rascal hehe. Always had me in hysterics whenever she visited. !LUV !ALIVE !PIZZA

Wow! What a story. Your aunt's 'what if' story is huge. I'm so glad she never gave up and that you have her in your life.
I really didn't expect to find so many similar stories when I wrote mine but it's made the writing of this one, for me, all the more poignant. ❤️
It is incredible how much human beings all around us have been through or are going through... and unless we scratch beneath the surface, sadly we may never know. I thought it was quite beautiful seeing the different responses to your story... and this is one of the best things about Hive... these touchpoints that we'd never have if we didn't share of ourselves đź’—
