- I woke up at 2 a.m. to 18 missed calls from my daughter and a text: “Dad, help!
Come fast!!”
I drove to her home like mad. My daughter and her fiancé looked surprised to see me. She said, “I never texted you!”
When I showed her the text, she turned pale.She said, “This is Amy’s phone number, Dad!” We both looked into each other’s eyes. Amy was my youngest daughter. She died last year in a car crash.
She was only 19. I had tears in my eyes. But as I left their place, I got another text and froze.
It said, “I am still waiting. Where are you?”
I quickly called the number. A young woman answered, crying.Her car had broken down in the middle of nowhere, and she had been trying to reach her dad for help. But when she got Amy’s old number, my contact—still saved as “Dad”—was the one she dialed by mistake. I cried the entire night.
For a few seconds, it felt like Amy had reached out to me from beyond, as if she were alive again, if only for a fleeting moment.
- My dad got married a few years ago. I started to notice some strange connections I had to her via Facebook, and it eventually came to my attention that my new stepmother was coincidentally the second cousin of my ex-girlfriend. Therefore, technically making my ex-girlfriend related to me by marriage. © Unknown author / Reddit
- When I was 32, my parents told me that my dad wasn’t my biological father and that my mother had used artificial insemination.
They also revealed that my aunt had done the same for both of her kids. I didn’t think much of it until a month ago, when my cousin did a DNA test and found out who her donor was. I took the same test and discovered she’s actually my biological sister, and her brother came from a different donor.
I now have over 100 half-siblings. It’s been about 2.5 years since I first learned about the artificial insemination. © Unknown author / Reddit
- I could never figure out why my real dad hated my stepmom’s sister. Finally, my real mom told me that my stepmom’s sister dated, and cheated on my dad.
