(2,791 posts)she's my first husband's sister's daughter, and I haven't seen here since she was a child. She is now 50 and has friended me on FB. Her mother was my favorite sister-in-law in those days and she was my favorite niece. She says she has been looking for me for the longest time because I was her favorite aunt. She is THRILLED to have found me and my daughters--her messages have been effusive. I also have fond memories of her and would love to get to know her again. HOWEVER, she is a Republican who thinks President Obama is evil, and she is a born-again Christian who talks a lot about Jesus and salvation and hell. I, on the other hand, am an Obama-supporting tree-hugging liberal. She and I have not gotten past the "Yay! We've connected again!" phase enough to have discussed any of this, but I've been reading her timeline. Eek!!!!
Maybe my timeline will freak her out, as well. I kind of feel bad for her, though. She was SO excited to find me. Sigh.
