The priest wrote my great grandmother and the American government and somehow convinced the Haitian government to let him return to America. Her told this tale to a priest from jail, who believed him and wanted to help.
He regained consciousness in jail, with a new-found memory of who he was. After landing, he lived in the country for a few months before getting into a bar brawl with a police officer and getting knocked out. He suffered amnesia and regained consciousness as a sailor on his way to Haiti. He was attacked on his way home from an Elks Lodge meeting. My great grandfather was a quiet kind man and treasurer for his chapter of the Elks Lodge in Texas. He had his problems, of course, but my life would have been so much worse without the sense of normalcy he provided me. His house was filled with pictures of me, framed my watercolor paintings and even my birth certificate, which has his name on it. Despite knowing I wasn't biologically his, he raised me as his own. My biodad ran off due to the scandal (they both worked together in the same hospital) and my dad and mom divorced when I was two. Yes we know that's weird, my dad definitely has sexual issues, but that doesn't really excuse cheating. My dad knew I wasn't his because he hadn't had sex with my mother since their honeymoon. My mom had an affair with a married man, and got pregnant. He never considered me, or treated me, as anything other than his own.Įdit: The story is that my mom was married to the guy who I call Dad. He KNEW I wasn't his, but raised me even when my bio-father ran off. Stories like this make me respect my own dad so much more.
