What an amazing 24 hours! First, Mike asked me to go to Sturgis in August. This is the biggest motorcycle rally in the world. I told him I would be there, but I still need to work on the logistics. This is a big deal for me because it means that both of us think we will still be together in August. Since I haven't had a relationship that lasted more than 6 weeks this is good new for all involved. Second, and you need to sit down for this:
Chelsea's Aunt Dionne called me today! She is Chelsea's father's sister! We haven't heard from her in about 14 years. To be fair, I'm sure Dionne didn't know how to contact us. I have sent Grandma Jones (Chelsea's paternal grandmother) a Christmas card the last 10 years or so. I am a firm believer that children need anyone who loves them in their lives. I feel especially concerned that she needs all members of her family that love and respect her in her life.
From information I gathered from her Aunt I told her that she has 4 half-sisters and 1 half-bother. She understands that her father and others might not reach out to her as her Aunt has done and she says she is okay with that. Her Aunt lives in California and Chelsea wants to go there to see her Aunt, Uncle and cousins so we'll see how that goes. I am very excited that Chelsea will have an opportunity to get to know the other side of her family.
