 | Sister I see you dancing on the stage of memory |
I had a weird dream that my 4 sisters, my mom, and I were all watching old slides with my step-grandfather (pap-pap) and grandmother. We’re flipping through the slides and we get to one of people posing around a birthday cake on a table. It’s from the early 80’s. I don’t recognize anyone in the picture and ask who a certain man is. Pap pap responded that it was my Uncle Charlie (I have no Uncle Charlie). I was confused, and asked how I was related to him. Pap pap and my grandma looked at me perplexed, as if I should know already, but they said it was through my step sister. I think her name was Amy. They went on to explain that my dad had a daughter out of wedlock before he met my mom. Uncle Charlie was really her mom’s brother. I flipped out. How can my sisters and my mom live knowing there is another sibling out there that we don’t talk to? How come I was never told about her? I think J’aime or my mom said they thought about telling Amy when my dad died, but they didn’t know how to get in touch with her.
