Granddaughter Katie
Linda Modry had ordered the snow globe for her five-year-old granddaughter Katie. Unfortunately, Katie never received her present because it was thrown away at the airport. Her father Michael had intended take it with him after he had visited his parents, in other words, Katie’s grandparents.
Getting in touch
Meanwhile, Ivelise and Rico were very happy that they had received a name. In fact, the two found out that Linda lived in the same area they did. Ivelise and Linda got in touch and decided to meet.
Local broadcaster
The Facebook post has since gone viral. The local news even picked up on the story and decided to make an item about it. Surrounded by cameras, Linda visited Ivelise’s house.
The meeting
It soon became apparent that returning the snow globe meant a lot to both women. The front door opened and the women embraced one another. Linda had brought flowers for Ivelise and they both started crying. Such a happy day!
Linda said the timing was perfect. It would soon be Katie’s birthday, so the snow globe was a great gift. This was when Ivelise discovered the real story behind the snow globe.
The real story
The date in the snowball did not represent a date of birth. It was the date of Katie’s adoption. The snowball was a gift to show everyone how welcome Katie was in her new family. As Linda shared the story with Ivelise, she called her son and little Katie. This moved Ivelise even more. She could hear how much impact the snowball had on the whole family.
Loving reactions
Ivelise and Rico received many nice messages after their mission was completed. They themselves look back on the whole event with great pride. This goes to show, a small act can have many beautiful consequences.
