Who's got the lucky sperm?!?!?!

I was going to write about suicide but I changed my mind. The death of Chris Cornell was a shocker. He had made it, it seemed....survived all the rough patches...my unsolicited and uneducated theory is Chris Cornell was happy in his life and his brain just malfunctioned due to a prescription medication. He did not consciously choose to leave his 3 children and his wife to pick up the pieces of their shattered hearts - he would not do that. His brain just broke and help did not make it in time. I would find comfort in that as someone left behind...eventually. Such a devastating burden for those 3 kids to lug around for their whole lives...he just would not do that if he was in his right mind, no way. RIP to the beauty who wore duct tape shorts like no one else..... 

Eddie Vedder, you better check your shit b/c you are the only grunge singer left.

On a more uplifting note....my last post about finding out that who I thought was my dad isn't actually my dad via Ancestry DNA...check this out...
Upon realizing this paternity thing was all bogus I began looking at my DNA matches on Ancestry. Suddenly these matches mattered a bit more...so I figured out which were maternal and which were paternal using my half sister Kim's results - so there I was with a handful of paternal matches. One I had already been talking with when I thought I knew who the connection was and she did not have any info that helped narrow down the possibilities so I wrote to another one, Nichole. Keep in mind most ppl do not even reply to these inquiries but I lucked out and Nichole was lovely and passed me over to her dad who is the genealogy guy of the family. Her dad, Neil, also a lovely guy - asked where I was born and when and immediately told me he thought he knew who my dad was. 

WOW.

Blew my mind in all honesty...even having a lead at all was amazing but so quickly...just nuts. So he thinks my dad is his cousin Al. Al's family moved from Manitoba to Prince George, BC and Al was in his early 20's when I was conceived and lived in PG at that time...Al is traveling currently but when he gets back Neil will talk to him and ask him if he will get tested so I can resolve it. He is away for another month still so I am being forced to practice the art of patience. 

I peeped a photo of Al.......despite it being a long shot we do have the same kind of hooded eyelids and squinty eyes when we smile....and dimples.....there is a resemblance....could be coinkidink...maybe not....time will tell. Wouldn't that be a bloody trip....?
