Dearest Son
I’m so sorry to contact you this way, but after so many of years
of knowing who you are and trying to abide by Greek law (that allows you to
find me but not me to find you), I have decided to break Greek Law.
As you might know you was adopted at birth by you parents, your aps, they are your dad and mum…no matter what will
happen next to us, that is the only truth you need to know. Sorry if I told you something you didn’t know
this already. This would be so much
easier if this was the other way around…I could just have sent you a message
saying does the that date mean something to you? If you had, I would have responded with a
resounding YES…that date means the world to me, because it is the day you came
into the world.
It is very hard to write this message…. how you feel about
everything might change after reading this, the only thing I ask of you is that
you take a moment to read it, absorb this and then think about what you want to
do next…I do not want you to make rash decisions; so, I just would like you to
think about this…then when you are ready take it from there.
So here it goes, for years I have wanted to contact you…but
have not had the courage to do so…I have always been afraid that your parents
have not told you about me and that this will be the first time you hear about
me. I have not wanted to be the person
to tell you…but now you are nearly 26 years old, you have the right to know the
truth and I am sorry if I am the one who is doing it, I am the one you share a unique
bond with (we shared a heartbeat for nine months).
The only thing I would ask of you is that we can sit down
one time and have a chat (I will be in Athens soon) …so I can answer
any questions you might have…. after that…it is up to you…I would love to get
to know you and hopefully build a friendship with you…but if you do not want
this…I will fully understand. You can
tell me to get lost, I lost that choice back even before you were
born. It does not mean I do not want to
have a relationship with you…it is just I am (unfairly) giving you the choice
of deciding if you want to get to know me.
If I can, I would suggest that we become friends on FB as it
where I sent you this message, then when you are ready you message me with your
questions and I promise that I will answer 100% honestly…no matter how painful
it will be for me…I will not instigate contact…we will take this at your
pace…it that is what you want… I would like to have is a minimal access to your
life…you do not have to speak to me ever…. but allow me to know what the major
things that happens in your life….my life is an open book to you…I will always
be here for you…if you need me.
The final thing is that if you want me to stay out of your life,
I will it is your choice, just let me know
With all my love,
Your first mother
