*BLINK…BLINK*

Blink…that was the reaction that I had when Mom came to visit.  She was sitting in a recliner when she casually asked if I thought that I had a half sibling.  My answer was an automatic no.  Then she told me that my father had been no angel and that he was close to women in Georgia, Oklahoma and/or the Marshall Islands.

*blink…blink*

She said that if there were children, my father had taken the knowledge to his grave.  She said that I might want to get online and see if I could find a half sibling out there somewhere. 

*blink…blink*

What brought this on?  She then told me about finding lipstick on my father’s shirt shortly after they were married.  What does a person say when their mother says things like that?  I just sat there wondering what was going on.  She told me that my half siblings would be older than me.  Finally she smiled and wished me well in my search. 

Um…what?

After that, she decided it was time for her to leave.  How could she drop something like that and just leave?  Easily it seems.  Wow.
