Incredible weekend
Friends, I just had to share with you the most incredible weekend I have ever had! About 45 years ago my cousin joined the navy and was stationed in San Diego. He met a woman there and they married and had two sons. When the two boys were small, their dad, my cousin, was killed in an auto accident. The mother with the boys moved and we lost track of them. Several family members tried to find them through the years but were unable to. The last name is Davis, a very common name.
The youngest boy, Casey, contacted one of his aunts in Arkansas a few weeks ago and wanted to come meet her and her sisters and see where his dad had grown up. He was very worried (he told us later) that he would be rejected because he hadn’t heard from anyone in almost 37 years. Well… one of his aunts called around to all of the family and organized a family reunion to meet Casey, his wife and their 8 year old son. There were about 45 people there. Casey was overwhelmed. We all cried a lot and hugged even more.
It was just so wonderful! I am emotionally exhausted now but so excited to finally meet Casey and know that he and his brother have become such fine men.
