Month: April 2024

I know this almost seems like an April Fools joke, but the following is real.

I know this shouldn’t be a big deal, after all we all do it. But not me, I have not made a secret out of this, but this will be the 1st time I am meeting what’s left of my father’s side of my family.

Why is this, my father died when I was quite young. Frankly I don’t remember much about him.

It has only been recently through therapy I am figuring out who I am, and what I want to do with my life. Which included a DNA test to find relatives.

California on the other hand has always been to me as if I am facing my own demons. You see my mother was so screwed up she was passing bad checks and rather live on the streets before asking relatives for help.

Yes I was homeless, for a time in California. I consider it a miracle I survived and made it to how old I am now.

I still have a lot of questions about my cousins and I am sure they despite how much we have talked, that they have to same for me.

What can I say, I am nervous and have a bit of anxiety over the trip.

Without revealing too many details. I leave the afternoon of April 17, and return to Chicago around the same time (fingers crossed) on April 26.

To how I am going down there I will leave secret for now. But follow me on X, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky for updates https://linktr.ee/ahmarwolf I will be updating my travels. I might even post something on YouTube when this is all over.

Apparently my relatives like museums as much as me and we plan on seeing quite a few which I hope to talk about.

I hope to get a photo of me on the beach of Malibu during this as a special memento.

I have to keep my cousin’s names a secret. They don’t know about my blog and I have no desire to tell them about it or other details. Also I don’t want a hotel bill after this.

I really just hope I enjoy myself, my cousins if they are as nice as they seem, if your expecting more. This is it… more on April 17.

In the meantime I will continue to post updates. But please be aware unless my cousins give me access to their WIFI my choices are limited.
