The day was almost over, the sun was slowly setting and it was beautiful. I laying was on the rooftop with my Grandmother's care taker. She sat up and looked at me, " You know what Katherine? I hope one day, you get a chance to be with your real parents. " Still laying on the ground I looked up at her and asked " Huh? What do you mean? " She looked at me and sighed, " I didn't want to be the one who tells you this but you're parents? They're not you're real parents. Don't tell me you haven't even noticed that you don't look like any of them, except for your "mom"? " I sat up and faced her, " No, I haven't actually. Tell me more. " she looked up and said, "  Well I can't tell you much, but here is what I know: 1. You're real mom? She's you're mother's younger sister 2. You're dad is a foreigner " I'm still a bit dazed about what she was saying, " So you're saying I'm adopted? " "Not adopted. Well, sort of. "  she looked at me and put an arm above my shoulder, " I know it's a lot to take in. I'm sorry for blurting it out like that. " I shook my head, " No. It's okay. Really. I'm just, I'm confused. Where are my real parents now? "  "  I don't know exactly. And I told you, I can't tell you everything. You have to either figure it out or when the right time comes, someone will tell you everything. This just isn't the right time. "  she stood up and kissed my forehead, " I better go. See you. "  The sun was gone and the moon was already up. I'm still confused about what had happened but somehow, I believe her. I can't explain why, I just do.
