I have just seen this marvelous story on the BBC News website and I wanted to share it with everybody :::

[ummmm]

It's on TV at the moment. I'd be interested in the research.

Ah...never watch TV in the mornings. Its lucky that they met in time. At 78, there must have been a chance that one of them might have passed away. Heart warming story.

[ummmm]

Very heartwarming. They both look fit and active. I wonder what similarities there are, life choices, marriage, kids etc.

What a lovely happy ending

1930 - it is amazing the mother was allowed to keep one child.
and extremely difficult

[ummmm]

Both were adopted, PP.

[mazie]

No ummmm, only Ann. The Mum kept Elizabeth because she had curvature of the spine and couldn't be adopted... I hope I've got that the right way round

I just caught this on the news, what a lovely story. It is wonderful they have been reunited, bless them.

It's so nice to read something positive in the news for a change
. My best wishes to both these ladies and their families.

saw this on the lunch-time news, must admit to shedding a tear.
I hope they both have as many years together as is possible
