I have always wondered about my biological father, who is was and why he was not able to be in my life. Growing up in Guam being white was dificult as a child. Like most people who had no idea about the absent parent the un answered questions was so confusing, not to mention the void.

After my cousin Judy died, I felt so much pain and loneliness. I realize how precious and short life was. I was determine to find out who my father was! And I hounded my mother till she told me his name* it was music to my ears. my heart was filled with hope, since I was grieving the lost of my cousin, whom I loved as a sister.

I was on a mission to find out about my father. I stayed up countless nights, seaching online for him. Several days later, I found a his name, and the address was in the state I was born. After reviewing it, I said to myself "what do I have to lose". I wrote a short note and mailed it out in June 2008.

Finally In July 15, 2008 I got a letter with a picture...." You have found the correct Paul Tribble"! My heart stopped,and tears were dripping all over the letter as I read on.

After 40 years of feeling abandoned, unloved, confuse and not feeling complete, that it all came to a halted. The void was gone. But I still have to wait to meet my father and sister, yes, I forgot to mention that I have a half sister, her name Iis Joleane. She was raised an only child with the same story. She was raised without her mother. My father's wife help with raising her and she always knew I would come knocking one day.

my heart longs to unite with my dad and sister, but I cannot afford to head to Michigan. I am a single parent, raising 3 kids and a newborn. Living paycheck to paycheck with the states help with food and childcare.

I am happy to say that my stepmother has booked a flight out here so they can meet us. It saddens me they had to make a sacrifice, after finding out that her cancer is back after 2 and 1/2 years in remission. She could have use that money for her treatment.

They will be on Guam in December. Even after finding out that her cancer is back. She is currently undergoing chemo. She said that she will have to miss her last chemo to come to Guam. It worries me since she needs to be on oxygen 24/7.

I believe that life has alot of unexpected turns. an eveything happens for a reason. I thak god everyday for blessing me with the gift to meet my long lost family.

Believe in prayer! And I'm asking eveyone to pray for my stepmom with her battle of cancer.

thanks for listening to my story! Someone from Guam has found her father clear acroos the globe.
