More details about my post...

Obviously the way I was told about this was pretty bizarre, I didn't have much time to absorb what she told me before the doorbell rang, so we all pretty much stared at each other that first night. Since then we have hung out whenever I am in San Diego, and have talked every few weeks when I am in Santa Barbara. So its just like a normal family relationship, except that I don't know much about her. However, she is normal and her husband and kids are great. They have two girls, 4 and 7 years old. Things are a little awkward between us, but I suppose we are just unsure of how to proceed. It would be pretty sad if we ended up hating each other and went our separate ways. So our relationship is whatever we feel comfortable with. Also, I feel that we wouldn't have met at all if not for everyone turning out the way they did. My mom could have been a junkie, or moved across the world, or died and the same could be said for my sister, but everyone ended up normal so it should be pretty easy for us to have a relationship.
