LinasK, what a great story to read. Thank God for them finding each other, as the years are climbing upon them.

My father was killed in WWII, actually no body was ever found and for many years my mom and his family held out hope that he was alive and being held prisoner somewhere. Never happened-

LaMer, how sad for your family.
Your mother and your dad's family kept hoping above hope for years! Those years, I'm sure were so difficult for all.

Oh how I wish your family had experienced a miracle also, LaMer.
I am so very sorry.
Love from sweetmop:blowkiss:
