It was 3 a.m. when Judy sat in her son’s kitchen, restless and lost in thoughts of May, her sister separated from her 67 years ago. Adopted by a loving family, Judy had a good life—but May’s absence left a hole she never stopped trying to fill. Over the decades, she searched: letters, records, DNA tests. Nothing. One night, her curious grandson Peter noticed her quiet obsession. “Try Facebook,” he suggested. Judy hesitated, but Peter offered to help.
They spent hours searching, but again came up empty—until Judy received a message from Dr. Smith, the doctor at the hospital where she and May were born. “I think we’ve found her,” the message read. With Peter by her side, Judy called Dr. Smith and learned May had recently come looking for her too. He had forwarded May’s contact information. Heart pounding, Judy opened her email—and there it was: an address. The next day, Judy and Peter drove to a small house filled with sunflowers—May’s favorite flower. Judy knocked. The door opened.
