Ignorance isn't bliss, it's just plain stupid.

     Do yall remember the Lifetime movie about the grandfather who died and shortly after his granddaughter found court papers about a mystery child the grandfather had? No? Not a movie? Oh sorry, it's my real life. This is happening right now with my oldest daughter. The grandfather everyone loved and adored (even though I am his former daughter in law I still adore the man), passed away in November 2014, devastating the very small family. Soon after my 22 year old daughter found court papers stating he had this mystery son. Well, give a mouse a cookie or a mom who is an internet detective....  I found the mystery son. I contacted him and he's just great. Yesterday I get a fb message from one of his sons. And the floodgates open!  I am now in contact with the sons, their mother and one of the son's wife.  I could only say that it made my heart full and my cup runneth over. The problem is my daughters and I are the only ones in the family who want to have a relationship with them. I say there is nothing wrong in wanting to know your relatives, but there is everything wrong in continuing to deny their existence. We are trying to set up a first meeting with them as we are all so excited to meet them and vice versa. More details to follow.
