I flew home for a visit with my family twice last summer.
I had made plans to go to the hospital I was born at with my mom. I wanted very much - to walk out WITH her this time.
I chickened out, when my husband, and my Mothers husband started questioning my motives on why I'd want to do such a thing, and telling me how difficult parking would be downtown, and how far away it was... and all I wanted to do was go there- and walk out??!....well, duh!
YES- thats what I wanted to do. Maybe get a few pictures that were 46 years late in the making, maybe revisit what would have been a very difficult time, and then 'correct' it- maybe have a positive memory from now on of being Mother and child together, the way it was meant to be.
WHY don't they "get" it?
If my Mother had kept me - but died shortly after my birth, would my request to go to the last place I had been with her be so weird and extravagant?
rrrrrrrrgh!

I have my OBC!! pfffffffft!
I missed her, I missed my siblings, I missed the connection, the identity, the ethnic background, the medical history..... I lost something very important in my life for 40 plus years. I am thankful to finally have all that back
