Tommy had been taught to believe that his father had abandoned him and that he was a “secret” or “mistake” but in reality, this was not the case.
Growing up, Pershawn Mattison was aware that she had a half-brother, but despite her best attempts, she was unable to track him down.
After more than 50 years, Mattison was ready to confront the reality and reconcile with her brother Carmichael:
Although their father loved him dearly, their kid passed away before they could get close.
“We were aware of you. Although we were unable to locate you, you were never a mistake or a secret. He also adored you.
When Mattison and her brother first met, two years after they had first made contact, COVID had kept them apart.
