A touching story

March 23rd, 2008 at 04:09 pm

My parents are from Jamaica and mom has a cousin whose daughter was killed some years ago here in the states while visiting. Anyhow, she had a son about 2yrs old at the time who was with his dad and my mom's cousin (the kid's grandmother) lost track of them. She and my mother was speaking about a week ago and my mom said to her she needed to try and find her grandson. So the very next day she called the Jamaican radio station told her story and they put her on the air right then. About 2 hours later she got a phone call from her grandson. Some one heard the program and his name and told him to call and he did. I think this is such a wonderful story

That's a great story, Amber. I'm so glad she was able to contact her grandson after all these years! I hope they have many happy years catching up now.
