103: an unusual family reunion

A simple but very touching tale of hope today, from the BBC. I suspect it has been widely reported elsewhere too. It's a classic good news story, about a Vietnamese woman who, having found out on her wedding day that she was adopted, went off in search of her Taiwanese father. Tran Thi Kham went to Taiwan and in a bizarre twist ended up working as her father's maid - though neither knew who the other was at the time. She left his employment, but then realized she had left some of her possessions in his home - including a photo of her father as a young man and a ring that he had given to her mother. She contacted the police, who prompted her father to seek out her possessions and he was shocked to then recover a photo of himself - upon which he travelled to meet his long lost daughter, for an emotional reunion. Theirs really is the most incredible story - a real-life fairy tale, in fact... A family life starting over... (Photo courtesy AFP from BBC online.)
