1. Spending most of 2023 writing about the birth family search I did 23 years ago—and finally coming to terms with the Secret.
2. Feeling more bothered about being kept secret from bio fam for the last 23 years (birth mother’s choice).
3. Preparing myself fully in 2023 to write a letter to my bio brother who didn’t know I existed, including daily meditation, therapy, and an astrology reading.
4. Writing the letter and mailing to bio bro the morning of Nov 29, not knowing my birth mother had died alone from a massive heart attack just a few hours earlier, also on Nov. 29.
5. Bio bro gets my reveal letter two days later, not understanding the ways of the universe, yet accepts and welcomes me to the family, and wishes Our mother had told him about me years ago.
