A Post 47-Years In The Making

Nary a day goes by when one wonders what little surprises may await us.
Maybe a new cereal will be brought home from the market, or perhaps a stray puppy-kitten will suddenly need a new home.

Even better, perhaps that new cereal will have a new puppy-kitten as the prize inside the box!
Point being, if you are open to a little change, sometimes something wonderful can happen.

"Shani, WTF are you on about?" I can hear you thinking.
 Lemme get to that.

I hardly add people to my Fahchay (spelled: f-a-c-e) Book.
As a private (HA?) person, this chica is pretty damn careful about whom she adds and when.
But when I saw this one particular request, Honey lemme tell you, her name looked familiar.
"Think, Shani!" I said unto myself as I was doing just that when it hit me-OW!

This was a name I just saw on Ancestry.com and oh, ok, this is a relative. Ok, Coo' coo'.
CLICK: "add friend"

More like: ADD SISTER!

*shani, how delicate*

Thanks!

*anytime*

That's right, this only child is an Older Sister!

Now, I'm not going to go into the details in here since that is not important. What is important is the overall feeling this is giving me. The effect, I guess?
OK, Lemme try to put this into words, the best way I know how.

You know when someone passes away and time/existence seems surreal at times? Well, gaining a new, grown-up, walking-talking sibling is very much like that- but in a happy way. The surreal hits you but with positive feelings. Yeah, confusing at times and I wake up in the middle of the night thinking "I fucking have a SISTER!" ... On the whole a very satisfying experience!
I highly recommend it.

*did you compare your younger sister to a box of cereal, shani?*

No, a puppy-kitten. Now hush.

*oh, this oughta be fun*
