My name is Tabitha.
Meaning Dorcas in English.
And I'll be telling you a short story of my life,funny but true. it's a true life story not just a write up
I was born in the year 2002 according to my parents,one thing led to another I was leaving with my parent in a small town in Ogun state
But as time passes by and by I discovered a shocking secret which my grand parents tried telling me before they kicked the bucket, anytime I go home they tried telling me about it but people do shut them up not to reveal anything to me.
I was still young then so I didn't suspect anything.
It turned out that the people I called my parents, whom i had always known and loved, were not her biological parents,even though they treated me differently from their own kids at times ,they treated me badly but they were still the only one I knew as my parents. In fact, my real parents were wealthy individuals living a completely different life in a distant country.
When i first learned about this revelation, I was filled with a mix of emotions - confusion, curiosity,heartbroken and excitement. I couldn't believe that my life was about to take an unexpected turn. With a heart full of questions, I decided to confront my parents and seek the truth.
In a heartfelt conversation with my parents, I discovered the reasons behind their decision to keep my true parentage a secret. They explained that they had adopted me as a baby, showering me with love and care, and had always wanted to protect me from the complexities of my birth story. They assured her that their love for me remained unchanged, regardless of her biological origins.
With the support and understanding of my adoptive parents, I decided to embarked on a journey to connect with my biological family,though it was not really easy to accept them as my biological parent but I just need to accept the truth. I traveled to the distant country where my real parents resided, eager to explore a new world of wealth and privilege. Along the way, I encountered cultural differences, learned new traditions, and discovered the true meaning of family.
As i met my biological parents for the first time, i realized that wealth and material possessions were not the most important things in life. It was the love, support, and connection i shared with my adoptive parents that truly mattered. I learned to appreciate the sacrifices they had made and the unconditional love they had shown me throughout my life.
In the end, I found myself torn between two worlds - the familiar warmth of my adoptive family and the allure of a life filled with luxury. Ultimately, i made the decision to embrace both families, cherishing the unique bond i had with each of them.
And so, my life became a beautiful tapestry woven with love, understanding, and the realization that family is not defined by blood or wealth, but by the connections we forge and the love we share.
I hope you enjoyed that little story, I'll be at the comment section. 😊
