The meeting went very well and despite limited vision, granny was otherwise very much ‘on the ball’!. It was a very emotional moment for Granny to see pictures of the son that she was forced to give up at birth and how much he looked like her own father. My friend also showed pictures of her two sons, much to granny’s delight. In such a long and tough life as she has endured , born in 1923, moments like this were all too rare. She has asked about her son’s burial place and my friend hopes to drive her there on a subsequent visit.
