The page you were looking for no longer exists

I wondered today where you might be now. We've hardly ever met, you and I. I don't know anything about you really. Do I look like you? Do I have your eyes? What of you could be seen in me by those who know you? I wonder where you are these days. What have you done with your life? Do you have someone there who loves you? Do you ever think about me and wonder?

It was a long time ago, I know. You may have spoken to me but I couldn't understand. Maybe you said you loved me and asked for my forgiveness. Only you know the answer to this. I hope you are okay. I wonder if we've ever walked past each other without any clue. Or maybe we stopped at a stop light and smiled to one another without really knowing.

I wonder who you are. Sometimes I miss you without ever knowing you at all. Isn't that odd? I can't imagine what the choice must have been like. I imagine it was hard. Well I thought I'd say hi and let you know I'm alive. I don't have any way of knowing what happened back then, but I still think of you. I still call you my mom. I wonder what my last name really is sometimes. I wonder if there are big family holiday gatherings. I wonder if I have a sister or brother out there somewhere.

Complete and total strangers to me. The idea is just so strange. It's so strange to think that tomorrow I could get into an elevator and stand next to my own brother without knowing it. Sometimes it's hard to wrap my brain around that thought. Maybe I should be nicer to everyone on the odd chance that they turn out to be a sibling or relative.

I wonder what my name would be if we had stayed together. It's hard to think of myself as a Mark or a Gerald... Hmm that thought almost makes me dizzy.. I could have a different name. I could have grown up somewhere else and had different friends, and kissed a different girl for the first time. It's like a near miss parallel universe... I don't even know your name. But I miss you on some days.

Hope all is well wherever you are...

    I think this would make me crazy.  i have no idea how you might wrap your arms around it. 

    i think it must have taken a huge act of love to let you go.  sometimes we have to show our love for someone thru great sacrifice.  is there any greater one than giving up your child?

    i know in my heart, as i hope you do in yours, that she thinks of you.

    I cant imagine being in your situation. I guess with the time one would find his/her own motivation but that huge black hole is difficult to fill.....

    I really hope you can find your reason and your peace....not knowing your story i cant say more....i dont know in which condition your mother left you and why....

    Do you know if she still alive?

    So sorry....{hugs}

    Hi gang, This post is part of my semi-poetic process. I'm totally fine and am a happy smiling goofus. Sometimes words just come out of me.. so I write. I am adopted, and this is from within me. I have my mom and dad from growing up, but sometimes I just wonder about the other pair of people who might have been my parents. Cheers, sc

    of course i already knew you were a happy smiling goof...
  • gingersoul said on Dec 02, 2006....
    Good to know you are a smiling goof....... words come out followig moods, moods change like the clouds in the sky, the sky is host to different currents, the currents bring you to thousand places, the places are made to be chosen, the place you choose is filled with people. the people you choose are brought by love, at the end love brings you where you want to be.... i am happy you are happy where you are. This is the first expresed thought i have this morning....my fingers were running while i was writing..thank you..

    hee hee - that last one made me think of this: "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Safu that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion." funny what the mind stores eh?
  • gingersoul said on Dec 03, 2006....
    Did you write it? Or were you coping from something? Both way its beautiful.... :-) Yeah, mind stores the weirdest things...notions we heard in very young age and keep staying there while we forget what we ate for lunch....lol......for example, i found myself once in an while and all of a sudden repeating to myself the beginning of a Latin poem i learned when i was in middle school most likely for the sound of the words...it goes like this... "Tityrae, tu patulae, recubans sub tegmine fagi"......btw, it simply means..."Oh Titiro, laying in the shadow of the tree"....

    Missing someone is really a crazy thing, sometimes you can't bear it anymore. So this is missing someone today who was once a part of your yesterday. Yeah i feel it once and sometimes hoping them luck is enough.

    I even wrote a semi-poem last week!!!
     
    I hope you're well, above the snow, and enjoying the season.
    Know that you're missed.
