the Spouse-Unit got a response from The Elder and Unknown. and The Elder and Unknown responded quite favorably to the information about her half-siblings that the Spouse-Unit provided, and to the Spouse-Unit ’s contact in general. in fact, she says she was “amazingly happy”. from reading some of her past communications with my mom, i have a feeling she puts words together similar to the way i do. there are a lot of nuances to the word “amazingly”, and i would be surprised if the connotation of “overwhelmingly” wouldn’t be inappropriate. of course, since i throw multiple meanings into almost all of my creative stuff, i have a tendency to read more into things other people write than is actually there. so, i’ll shut up about that now.
i don’t think it’d be appropriate to reproduce The Elder and Unknown’s response here, but i will say this (and yes, i’m quite heartened by it). the Spouse-Unit ’s email to The Elder and Unknown was titled “about your dad and half-siblings”. The Elder and Unknown’s response was “about my family”.
i don’t know what all has been going on in life for her, but when she says, “I realized that what I wanted all along, was a family,” things haven’t been going quite as well as they could have been. her response has me simultaneously elated and even more saddened than before. what have they done to her?
well, i guess we’ll see how everything goes. i leave in the morning. i have to go change my login to Blogger to something i can remember on the road, just in case i have time to update on the fly.
