Why I missed Crabfest, or the Weirdest Emotional Roller Coaster ever

Way to go, Kevin!  Embarking on that journey and embracing the results is admirable.  Sharing it with us is too.   

As you said what an "E" for emotional  ticket ride for you. Good Luck to You and new found family.  thanks for sharing this personal experience.

this is your excuse for missing an event?  What the heck did your school year excuses look like? 

Seriously though, that is truly an amazing  chain of events.

How cool is that

My cousin, who I grew up with was also adopted. But I never knew that he was until my mom "accidentally" brought it up at conversation during a random family dinner when I was a teenager. I was shocked and in disbelief. My heart sank but realized that he was lucky to have been adopted by loving parents. He too ended up searching for his parents but never got lucky. I feel bad for him for not finding the closure that he was hoping for. But knowing that he has been living a good life makes me happy. He is now living in New York with a loving wife and 3 beautiful children.

Mooch, just so you know, I fired them right back, family or not, you don’t talk trash about Harley’s with me…lol.

Kevin,you have it easy with a Harley buddy...Imagine owning a scooter and having to explain that  

Damn Joel, I am rolling on the floor at work!!!!! That just made my day!  One day we will get you something you can shift!

I was going to use the :dog ate my crab trap," but that wouldn't work cause some one else used it.  Thanks for the support!

Between Mooch and you coming out about cancer and cardiac conditions, I felt it was okay to share.  Just as long as the IRS or the MOB, doens't use this post to track me down because some one in the family owes money. lol

Wow! that's amazing
Also fits in with Mooch's - Get yourself checked thread. Knowing what happened to your brother could save your life.

Mooch - there is no "explaining" a scooter! 

I can see it now, "damn gun stealing "f"ing libe......grabs chest"

Best wishes for happiness, Kevin. Well done.

Thanks for sharing Kevin. Really awesome story. The 49er quarterback was adopted and has shed some positive light on adoption. Hopefully more responsible families will adopt children and provide them with the love and opportunity to succeed like you.
