FINDING FAMILY ONLINE...

The other night, my Aunt Evelyn, cousin of my father in the father side sent me a text message asking if I am the daughter of my father, Dennis. Of course, I replied. I found it quite weird so I asked her who she was and how she got my number. She introduced herself saying that she is the daughter of Salvacion Nuevos, sister of my grandfather, Lolo Peping. She told me she got my number at the family account under group search. And amazingly enough, she was telling me things that happened while I was yet a baby. That my parents attended the burial of Lola Doray in Ilo-ilo when I was yet a baby. Apparently, she was not sure if I was that baby so she asked me. She further told me that she married an Australian that is why she is now in Australia. It was quite an exchange and I consumed my load, ahahaha...International Text is expensive...But it was good. She ended saying I give her "regards" (greeting) to my father and the rest of the family. I told her that she is welcome to join our family under groups in Friendster since I am the owner of the group. Afterward, I accepted her joining...

The Internet is indeed very powerful in bridging families online...
