Family can be a wonderful thing

Ok so the good news is that my school term for the fall is coming and might give me a chance to actually do more of the whole ancestry research. I haven’t spoken to my cousin and I’m not at all good at waiting on others to do what I started.

But this post is not at all about this. I had an opportunity to meet a cousin of mine, but like I had said in previous post I was not able to meet her face to face because of factors that where in the way. I spoke with her via and app on my phone that is just like texting but without the charges of the whole international thing cells phones do.

Well I have been speaking with her and she is a very sweet girl. I love that we get along so well and easily. I have cut and extended relationships with family members and very happy that I get a chance to build a relationship with such a wonderful person. She made me realize that some family in your corner is a wonderful thing.

It’s been too long since I’ve been gone

So considering my last post was months ago I felt the need to apologize for my absence (it must be real because its 2:20 a.m and I have to be in bed to get up for class in a few hours).

I’ll make this post short and return tomorrow with factual information about what this blog is supposed to be about which is my family and my quest to find them. The happenings in this quest has gone as follows. I sent request on Facebook to the other side so far one denied me and one accepted me. . . the funny part they’re mother and daughter and it was the MOTHER that accepted me (I thought it would have been the daughter).

I haven’t spoken to them yet mainly because what am I suppose to say? Hi I’m a part of the Kirkpatrick side. . . you know the one’s you disowned. Stupid right? So any suggestions on how I should go about this I mean after all I feel like everyone should have a chance to tell their side and give GOOD reason as to why things are the way they are.

Other than my stall in communicating that is all I have as far as research. I do have a cousin on the Kirkpatrick side in town from the Netherlands, unfortunately my schedule prohibits me from meeting her but I asked my grandmother to give her my cell phone number and Skype information. It’s not like I don’t want to meet her it’s just I don’t have the time nor the finances to . . . I mean HELLO broke college student here. 

But in closing this post I will say this. . . very soon I shall post another Family member profile here. Until then please be patience.
