Mantra of the day: If you want something bad enough, you’ll stop at nothing to get it.

My fb memories are popping up so I thought it would be befitting to share
When i was 12 i found out that the man whose last name i have wasn’t my biological father. So for 7 years i searched for answers on my own. My mom wasn’t much help with sparked tension between us for years

One day i was going through her belongings, i think i was about 18 and found a letter addressed to her. In the letter an unknown man was telling her that he loved her and couldnt wait to marry her and that he loved me and couldnt wait to be a family. It sparked my interest more
So i took the letter and kept it. My mom never knew i had. I didn’t know what to do with it at that moment but his named was engraved into my brain after that bc who was this man who knew who i was.
I really felt lost growing up not knowing who my dad was. My moms family....

Lived in another country and i didnt know who my bio father was. All i had was my immediate family. I loved them of course but it was enough bc pieces were missing....
Fast forward a year later....

One day my god sister and i were on myspace messing around. I told her let me put this mans name in and see what happens. The man was the person who wrote my mom that letter. I was just bs’ing i didnt think anything would come up
But something did....
But something did....
His picture popped up and i was SHOOK. My god sister was like omg Randi you look just like him!!
So I immediately took the city he listed that he was from and started looking him up online through different search engines.

So many different things were coming up about where he used to live and i felt like i was getting closer bc there was a military base that he resided that i grew up on. So i started calling all the numbers that he ever lived. I had been calling for hours. Most were disconnected
I was about to call it bust but i decided to call one more number. I call it and it goes through. Now i’m shaking bc I expected it to be disconnected. @YT_OfficialCino picks up the phone and i’m stuttering asking does so and so live at this address bc i think he may be my dad
He says he doesnt live here but that’s my moms ex husband. I WAS SHOOK!!! All my searching and i found him 
He told me that his mom was home but he would tell her i called
So she calls....

She goes “OMG I KNEW YOU WERE REAL, I KNEW HE HAD A DAUGHTER THIS WHOLE TIME.”
Her and i talked for hours. She eventually gave me his number and i called him Easter 2008
I flew to Texas a couple months later to meet him, my brothers and sisters and step mom

The following year, i flew to Florida to meet my grandma, aunts and cousins for the first time. SURREAL
That’s just surface level. It took years to get to the place that we’re in right now.
So the point is that, i wanted so badly to meet my father that i did whatever i needed to do to find him.
If you want something bad enough, you’ll do whatever to get it
