Excellent day everyone

Mirabella asked which mother ? My mom or aunt, who i just found out she is my biological mother.

I paused, unsure how to respond. The discovery still stirred in my mind like a storm. My whole life, i thought l knew my family, but secret can change everything.

"Aunt joyce" i finally said, watching Mirabella's expression shift. She nodded reflectively as if
Patching together the puzzle.
Let's talk about this ", she said, gently. You deserve, answers.
"Tell me everything, "she said tenderly from the start ".

My aunt joyce, my mom's sister, was my biological mother. The family secret had been disguised for years, and i was still staggering from the truth.

"Your aunt Joyce...... what's she like? Mirabella asked, her voice calming i stop , gathering my thoughts. "She's kind, and caring...... But distance. I have always felt like there's a fence between us"

Mirabella's eyes sparkled with insight. " Maybe now you can understand why". Ok perhaps this secrets she had kept had created a barrier between us.

Will you like to ask her about this? "I don't know" i replied i am still processing everything ". Mirabella nodded understandingly. " Take your time. when you're ready, i will be here to support you!

As we parted ways, i couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow held. Would i reach out to aunt Joyce?
Would our relationship change? Only time would tell.

I found myself in my room reflecting on my feelings and thoughts. Understanding the sacrifices she might have made, through out that night, i couldn't sleep.

First thing in the morning i decided to visit her after having breakfast with her, I asked her about the past .
She started her story with tears in her eyes, she narrated why she kept the secret.

From that day forward, our relationship evolved. We faced challenges together and gained a deeper insight of my family's history. Though it was distressing, but knowing the truth can lead to healing and growth.

Thank you all for stopping by.
