#29: My Friend, Mike

In life, there are always going to be things that surprise us no matter how much we might have prepared ourselves for them to happen. But the crazy thing about surprises is that they usually don’t happen over a long period of time, rather slowly. And then when you least expect it to show themselves to you…

Well, maybe they don’t happen like that for other people but they certainly did for this girl. Having been adopted at a young age from South America by US parents, this girl thought she would never reconnect with her birth parents. That was until one day in college when her mentor mike, introduced himself as her father.
