I get that a child might be curious about a sound in the woods, but his determination and the sense of responsibility he had and carried all these years !! Finally, how absolutely lovely these two people are. So happy for both of them for a hundred reasons !!

As an infant teacher, I wholeheartedly understand that deep attachment formed with babies and how you often find yourself wondering what will become of them as they grow up elsewhere. I can't even imagine how much stronger that feeling must have been for this man. So beautiful how he carried her in his heart and always thought of her as his little girl, in a way. This story touched me, and I'm so glad they found their way back to one another.
