We Found Our Sister

We found our sister, Laurie Hudson in January of 2001. She arranged to meet Wayne at a truck stop in Calgary, and of course the press was there to cover the happy moment.

Wayne and Laurie meet for the first time after 42 years.

Wayne and Laurie hold each other for dear life as they have been apart for far too long. It was a bittersweet moment for them both as they clung to each other in joy at having found each other again.
They had a few hours together in Wayne's truck as they made the trip to Kelowna. Laurie was overjoyed to find her family.
She had almost given up hope, but trusted that the Lord would bring her a family.
She had no idea that she had not just a brother, and a mom and a dad, but another two sisters and another brother who were as anxious to meet her as she was to meet them.
Just a week before she had prayed to have a family, to have someone who cared for her, and her daughter Jennifer. She had never imagined what was in store.

Of course if you found someone you had waited over 40 years to find again, you would have flowers - lots of them.
