I wonder

Thoughts have been raging through my head since my conversation with my little sister. Mainly because if what she feels is true, then we are in for a world of shock. Mainly, her biological father. Now I'm not saying the man is cream of the crop by any means. Infact, I can't remember much about him I actually liked. However, He is my little sisters biological father and therefore she should be allowed to meet him and form her own opinion of the man. Good or bad.

The Otter has a right to know who her father is. A right to see Him. To judge him on her own. Like I did with my biological father. Now, mind you in the end my father wasn't much of one. Nor did He bother to keep in touch when He was alive. Now that He has passed however, I wish he and I had had more time. If only so I could make up my own mind about him without anyones input. The Otter has that right. Not to be told the man is 'dead' if he truly isn't. Not to be hidden away from someone who carries her blood. Someone who could tell her if nothing else her heritage and bloodline. Medical things. If nothing else of course.

But then there is the wishful thinking of my mother. If she doesn't want contact with someone, such as her daughters father, then that man is 'dead' and not worth talking about. Not worth trying to explain and therefore just another dark secret.

Whatever happens, I hope the right choices are made. For EVERYONE involved. But mainly for my little sister. She might still be a kid, but even a kid has rights.
