eldest NO MORE

I've live my whole life thinking I am the eldest child. Both from my Mom & Dad's case. Imagine my surprise when one day a simple message in facebook changed everything. I must say technically it doesn't change anything except that now I know I am not the eldest. LOL

I never expected to accept her though, I've always felt mad at everyone who contributed to the eventual downfall of my parent's marriage. I realized I don't have to be mad at her, she came before me and I should still thank my dad for marrying my mom instead of her's & that for 20 years my dad has been a good father to me and my sisters Kish & Brit.

It's a bit sad though that my Dad can't still find enough courage to acknowledge her, to tell us the story and to accept that he isn't perfect. I personally can say now that I'm older, I understand him. Although it still hurts I understand that he isn't perfect but he did his best to be a father to us in the way he knows how.

Well... here we are. Lyn-- who is older than me for 10 months(the one on my left), my half sister, my dad's daughter-- having dinner and meeting each other for the first time. It actually took a lot of years, but I think it's a good start.
