As some of you know, Reed's daughter Savannah went "missing" with her mother a year and a half ago. One weekend we saw her, the next...they were gone. To say we were upset is an understatement, but since her mom has full custody, there was really nothing we could do, and we had no forwarding information to contact her all this time.
I've been searching the internet for anything we can use to get in touch with them, and this week I finally found it. I found her mom on the computer, and emailed her. She emailed back right away with their number so I called.
Lo and behold, they are back in North Carolina, and looked for us upon returning only to find that WE were now gone.
I gave Reed her number as an early "Christmas present" and he was ecstatic. He called immediately and talked to her for quite a bit and made plans for a weekly phone call. She is doing well, is very happy, and is in her school chorus--even got to sing a solo at the last concert!
We are truly happy to have reconnected to this wonderful little girl and look forward to many more calls and visits in the near future. I think the moral of the story is, if it's important, keep trying.
Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. We've been a bit under the weather lately and trying to make christmas presents, buy some, get them wrapped and keep up with daily life, and time slips by. Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!
