I do! This is a picture of myself and son Peter. My daughter and I have been searching for him since his father died over 12 years ago. As you may remember, we found Peter's little girl (now 23 and a mom herself) not too long ago. I asked for your prayers to find him. They have worked!It's been a whirlwind of phone calls, activity, joy and more since we found Peter. His daughter Cassie found his name on facebook and asked me to check it out. I wish I could tell you how many "Peter"'s have gotten an email from me. They were never him. I wrote and waited to be disappointed again. He sent his address and phone number! He lives just over an hour away from here. On July 31st I was able to talk to him for the first time in nearly 17 years. Today, he drove to our home and we had lunch together.
Our God is the God of restoration. In the last 10 days, he has restored a father to his daughter, a stepmom to her son and a lifetime of memories to each of us. Maybe next time he comes, I'll let him talk.

I c an imagine how happy you and Peter are at finding each other! The internet is such a good way to get in touch with lost family, that's how I found my grand daughter after 16 years. Have fun becoming reacquainted! Jeannette xx
I do believe in miracle and am happy to hear about yours. What a wonderful thing to have happen and for him to be so close too. God just brought my younger sister back with our family, after 20+ years. I am so glad that God can and will restore families.
What great news! I am so very happy for you and your family. Miracles do happen.

Dear Penny,
I am so happy for you! My own son, Andy, got divorced, quit a good job and disappeared for a long time, but he did finally come back to WI and we made contact. PTL.
Please keep in contact with us.

Tremendously happy for you Penny!
How very wonderful for you!
God is so good, isn't he? I'm so happy for you and your family.
Penny, I knew about this, but don't think I ever commented. So sorry. Gee, there are two people I am so desperately trying to find. Maybe some day. Meanwhile, I share your joy in my heart. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned my desires, as I don't want to take away from your blessing at all. I am so happy for you, and for your latest blessings. Be happy, my dearest. your krissy :)
