She had found me on 23andme a year ago, she's a biracial artist doing a project on race and family. Now that she's vaccinated she will be traveling around the U.S. on her art project and I should get to meet her in the summer.
Wow, kml, happy happenstance! Sounds like a fun meeting.

My extended family split in half over a similar division. The oldest son remembered being promised the father's knife. The oldest daughter cared for him in his final years and claimed first pick and took the knife. Other relatives chose sides. Decides of 100+ person family gatherings ended by a simple knife. I can't imagine how complicated it gets when actual money is involved and it's not a simple knife. Props to siblings who settle things maturely. Props to parents who take the time to write clear wills.
