I haven’t heard back from my birthfather’s wife. I left two messages at her house with no response. The last message I asked her to leave a message for me on what is a good time to reach her…I don’t want to be a pest!
It is strange that she would call and sound so desperate to connect with me only to virtually disappear. Any ideas? I hope that she will send the pictures even if we don’t speak.
If I don’t hear from her soon, I’ll write another letter.

Nothing to report yet. I called and left a message at her house. I also called back the number she had originally called from and left a message there also.
I received a message back from a gentleman calling on her behalf from yet a third phone number telling me she could be reached at her home number. Interesting. Maybe these other two numbers are work related?
I wonder if this is the same guy who was prompting her during her original call. Questions, questions!

I was at a fundraiser yesterday afternoon and evening with a very lively bunch of people. Thank goodness this thing happens only once a year! I made my escape around 8:00 p.m. before things got ugly. They are a nice group but six hours of cocktails only spells trouble to me.
Anyway, I ran out to my frozen car and started home when I noticed there was a message on my phone. I got home and listened to a most amazing message from my birth father’s wife. This is the woman I located from the Texas marriage and divorce records…I think they had a fairly short and unhappy union. I can’t figure out if they ever divorced. She uses his last name still and there are no divorce records that I can find.
I can’t tell from the message if she just has a very heavy Texas accent, was drunk or a combination of both. I will call her back today. There was someone in the background prompting her and the call came from a phone number that was different than the number she left in the message.
My gut reaction after first listening to the message was that I might have gone too far. Crossed the line. Was I asking for trouble? I fell asleep wondering why I felt so unsure of myself. I have never been afraid to contact anyone but this had me perplexed. I felt better listening to the message again this morning. She sounded more like she was nervous and with the heavy drawl, it makes her sound drunk…or maybe she was drunk! Whatever…
Anyway, she said she had pictures for me. She also said she had lost my original letter and that she had been praying I would write again. She mentioned that she didn’t think I looked a lot like him (which is odd since most people who knew him freak when they see me). The second letter included pictures of me because I thought it might be easier if she could put a face with the name. I also mentioned people that she would know…his daughter and exwife. I guess it worked!
I will let you all know what happens! Stay tuned!
