Lost and Found

She sat in the cafe, looking through the window to rainy weather. She was meeting someone that she had only known at birth.

Her mother.

She'd been able to contact her online, flying to England, seeing her at last.

She still had her photo tucked away.

An elderly lady.

She got up, tears swelling, as she ran to greet her estrange mum.

Her mother fell into her arms, sobbing.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."

"You are here now..." her daughter cried back, standing there in the embrace. Tears shed like years.

Like the years...
