“I never found my Mom. But I found my, Dad; and we are best friends. He answered a lot of my questions. He said; “Mom was a bright light, beautiful, funny and smart, with an apatite for life.” They only spent one weekend together, 48 hours! He said it felt like they were a couple. He loved her, but he was a priest and couldn’t give her what she wanted. It’s his biggest regret. I don’t know if my, Mom is alive, or where she maybe? I hope she found what she was looking for. Me, I’m whole now, at peace and very happy.”
