our life is not a movie or maybe

Some of things happening in my life recently don't feel very real. I feel as if I'm walking through a scripted scene, with occurrences popping up just like in Hollywood. I guess, in a sense I am and God is the director and the screenplay is my life mapped out ahead of me with surprises along the way. Maybe Shakespeare had it all completely correct!

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:


This is all mainly due to my kind of "long lost" sister. I'm not going to begin to explain my family structure because it is all very confusing, but I do have a sister that I only met a few times when I was 3 or 4.

Her name is Lisa and she is married with two girls. She lives in Chico, CA. I don't really remember her, but I have seen pictures of us together. She is my dad's daughter from his first wife, and that's all I'm going to say about that. Anyway, she contacted Annie and I a few months ago and we have been in contact through email. When Annie and I made our Christmas plans, she agreed to meet us in San Francisco. We are going to spend a couple days with her and then my dad, Nonnie, Annie, Lisa, and I are going to dinner together. This is a huge undertaking, mostly due to the turmoil in out past. What a fantastic experience. I can't wait!

Honestly, this all feels very weird. How odd is it to meet someone full grown who shares half of your DNA, or however sisters share DNA. I mean, it is all exciting but very strange!

My evil grandmother divorced my grandpa years ago before I ever had the chance to meet him and I hear he's living in California somewhere with a new family and I don't even know what he looks like, so I guess I kind of know what you're talking about. If I had the chance to meet him I probably would so take full advantage of your op!
