So earlier today I get a friend request from someone I did not know. I recognized the last name, so I simply asked "How do you know me?"
Here is the response I got:
I remember you from anywhere! I know when you were little life wasn't easy for you but my cousin, Beth, and I would take care of you when your mom would go out. Beth is your cousin too, so I am surprised you don't recognize my last name. I don't know how else to explain who I am. I know your mother is Emily. Beth told me you were a neurosurgeon or something. I couldn't believe it was true but was happy for you. I just thought of you as the sweet little boy with the really round head. If this isn't you, I am so sorry to bother you. You just look so like the "little *VADD0*" that I was knew.
My second cousin apparently found me on facebook, and I had no idea who she was. She knew me though, and I was simply reminded how much I do not know who my family really is on either side. Sometimes this reminds me of how "alone" I really am.
