KC: San Diego CA, USA, United States; WHEN MY FATHER MARRIED MY MOTHER, SHE HAD 2 CHILDREN ALREADY, DAN & VICKI. MY MOTHER DIED WHEN I WAS 3. MY DAD WAS THEN A 50 YEAR OLD ALCOHOLIC. HE SOLD EVERYTHING AND DROVE TO CA, TAKING ME ALONG. HE LEFT DAN & VICKI. MY MOTHERS MOM ADOPTED THEM. OVER THE YEARS I ASKED ABOUT MY BRO & SIS MANY TIMES. THAT SUBJECT WAS TABOO, HE WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT. OR ABOUT MY MOTHER. HE DIED WHEN I WAS 17 OF CIRRHOSIS. SO 19 YEARS AFTER SEEING MY SIBLINGS I GET A LETTER, FROM DAN SAYING "I THINK YOU ARE MY LONG LOST LITTLE SISTER. PLEASE CONTACT ME. BY THE WAY I AM DEAF." HE WAS IN VA BUT FLEW TO CA TO MEET ME. HE ALSO TOOK ME TO MY SISTERS HOUSE TO MEET HER & HER DAUGHTER,(MY NIECE - RHIANON, WHO IS NOW ON CREW) & THEN ON TO MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE. THEY ALL LIVED ABOUT 5 HRS FROM ME IN CA. I SPENT A SUMMER WITH DAN IN VA. I HAD NEVER SEEN A PICTURE OF MY MOTHER, HE GAVE ME MANY.IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL TIME. IN 1992, I HAD MRI'S & WAS DX'ED WITH NF2. I HAD ZERO SYMPTOMS UNTIL 1997. MY MOTHER DIED IN 1971, DAN & VICKI DIED IN 1995. ALL DIED DUE TO NF2 RELATED CRAP. MY MOTHER INHERITED NF2 FROM HER DAD.
