A song about learning of and meeting a 1/2 sister whom I didn't discover until last year (2017).
My paternal father's significant other contacted me on facebook and through her I found out and was able to connect with a 1/2 sister I never knew.
Kimmie’s Song
By Patrick Thompson (04/23/2018)
A girl was born just 3 years after me.
A sister from the same mister, is she
He was gone before I’d ever see
A long lost missing limb on the family tree
She lived around my home town for a while
Moving here and there and all around the dial
They headed south, but the family fell apart
The Vegas scene became their brand new start
50 years to make one big connection
Each of us living lives as an only one
But in my year of loss we found a new affection
with the love and joy we’d missed back when we begun
She found her passion following the band
She was known to be their biggest fan
But in the end that passion had its cost
The warmth had turned into a bitter frost
50 years to make one big connection
Each of us living lives as an only one
But in a year of loss we found a new affection
with the love and the joy we’d missed back when we were young
We finally put the pieces in their places
We shared our names and then we shared our faces
It wasn’t long before we got together
And it feels like we survived the stormy weather
We didn’t know exactly how we’d feel
But it’s in the air – the family is real
50 years to make one big connection
Each of us living lives as an only one
But in a year of loss we found a new affection
with the love and the joy we’d missed back when we begun, yeah
the love and the joy we’d missed back when we were young
