Lori’s normal day as a nanny turned into something dramatic when she found a pair of shoes she knew in her boss’s house. The shoes belonged to Olive, her daughter, who hasn’t been seen since 1992.
Lori felt memories coming back as she held the tiny shoe. The loss of her daughter had left her with a huge hole in her heart.
Lori’s thoughts were racing as she talked to Emily, her boss. She asked with a shaking voice, “Where did you get these shoes?”
Lori was interested in Emily’s reluctance. Emily said, “I…they were with me when I was found.”
It turned out that Emily had been lost as a child, was adopted, and had no memory of her past. As Lori put the pieces together, her heart skipped a beat.
“Your name was Olive, wasn’t it?” Lori asked in a voice that was almost a whisper.
Emily’s eyes got really big in shock. “How do you know that name?”
Lori shed a lot of tears. “My daughter Olive owned those shoes.” She was last seen in Scotland wearing those shoes.
The impossible became possible. Emily, who was now a mum, was actually Olive, Lori’s long-lost daughter.
Time stopped when they hugged. They had tears of joy and shock running down their faces.
Lori looked for him for 22 years, and a simple nanny job was what finally brought them together. The link between the past and the present was made by Emily’s daughter Marissa.
Lori was amazed at how much Emily’s hair from when she was a child looked like Marissa’s bright red locks.
Emily laughed as she thought about the time she dyed her hair in high school.
“You had beautiful hair, just like Marissa’s,” Lori said in a whisper.
Lori promised Emily she would never let go again as they hugged.
The voice of Lori was shaking as she said, “I’ll give you all my money if you promise I’ll never see you again.”
Emily promised, but she felt like she had lost years.
Lori cherished the warmth she thought she would never feel again as she hugged her daughter close.
This miraculous meeting made Lori remember that the strange turns in life can bring happiness out of the blue.
