My parents abandoned me when I was 8. Recently I tried to used an Indian tracker to locate them. By chance, my mom calls me when she sees me on TV. I am finally reunited and I am extremely dissapointed. They were just very selfish and didn't really care about me for me. So I turned my back and never looked back. I guess what I learned was home is where you make it. No reason to pine away for a past that I can't change. I've got a great wife, friends and a bitchin car ('67 Plymouth convertible). What else do I need?
