Hi Laura,
Wonderful that you had such a good time with your family, and you are so right, this is not many peoples experience. Sometimes the family and the geneology provides us with life’s biggest challenges. For me, it is a fragmented family where one side doesn’t even know the other and have never met. Like you, I am just going to be honest about who and where I am but also being sensitive that parts of my family ie my elderly mother can’t deal with the truth. However, your thread is about you, and I am just pleased that you are able to enjoy time with your nearest and dearest.
