Everyday things became special when I saw Evie, a young girl, in the middle of the road with her bike on its side.
As a car came up behind her, I ran to her and pulled her out of harm’s way just in time. Through tears, she thanked me and said she had been trying to catch up with her mom.
Evie took me to the house of her grandmother, where Vivienne, an old woman with a gentle warmth, thanked me and invited me inside.
As I looked around the beautiful house, I saw a picture of a guy who looked just like me. Vivienne told him that he was her brother Henry, who had been missing for fifty years. She asked me to take a DNA test because she was interested.
The test results proved a family link that had been lost for a long time. It was Henry who raised me. All of a sudden, I was part of a family I had been looking for without realizing it. I learned that life can take you right where you belong.
