Doris was 4 & Richard was 7 on that fateful day back in 1931. Their Mom had suddenly died & they were being sent to separate homes until something could be worked out. Richard says his last memory of that day was waving out the car window to his little sister standing in the driveway. He waved until she was out of sight. That was the last either of them saw of each other.
Fast forward to 2011, Doris daughter Lee got Mom on the internet & they eventually located Richard who as it turned out lived only 2 hours away from Doris. So, Doris & Lee made arrangements for Richard to spend Christmas with Doris so they can rebuild their life within the time they have left on this earth. Richard & his bride of 69 years came to Maine to spend some time with Doris. Doris hopes that she will still be healthy enough to go visit Richard & his wife in Connecticut next Christmas. After 80 years of not knowing if the other was still alive, Doris & Richard are finally back together as a family. I can only imagine the special feelings they are having this Christmas...feeling that most of us take for granted!!!
What are your thoughts on this Christmas miracle???
