Letting things sink in

Last week I joined this internet network place that everyone seems to be talking about lately.

What is really neat about it is people from your past can find you easily and reconnect with you, if even just to say hi.

For me where my father was in the military for 33 yrs it was good to hear from friends I wouldn't have known for very long, I was in a different school every year from grade 2 to grade 11.

A few nights ago I made a profile for Mike on face book.

And last night after not seeing her for 16 years he talked with his half sister who is now 23 yrs old. What an experience that was for me to witness.

I had the opportunity to speak with this young woman for quite a while and I could just feel the sheer joy and disbelief she was experiencing.

All of the sudden a brother she barely knew has arrived again.

One she never thought she would ever get a chance to talk to.

That is pretty huge in my book.

I have such a sense of joy inside of me as I know that this event will forever change the life of this young woman… how could it not?

And isn't that what it's all about? Personal growth?

Events like these are surely a part of her own evolution… Mike's as well. Whether he cares to admit it or not (I don't know we haven't had this conversation yet) there is a young woman out there who is so overjoyed with finding him, her big brother, that this will also have a huge impact in "our" world as well.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? There is always more.
