October 1, 2008 - Meeting My Little Brother

Long story short...At my dad's viewing, my sister and I met our 10 year old brother Diego Rene Rodriguez for the first time ever. He was my dad's son. Talk about overwhelming! This was the ONLY good thing that came from that trip to Texas that week.

It's an indescribable feeling to meet a sibling...after so long. But I am so happy that we did. And so happy to be a big sister to him. Not only did we meet him at my dad's viewing with my dad's body 20 feet away, we met him in front of everyone. Which at the time I didnt even notice anyone else around but me, my sister, and my little brother.

I wish I would have met him sooner, or maybe under different circumstances, but nonetheless, I am so thrilled to have finally met him.
