A Beautiful Gesture

Hickman at that reunion had brought with 3 roses for Mary and he left everyone teary-eyed when he said these words “that this is our third reunion.” He gave Mary each rose as a souvenir for each one of the meetings. Mary and almost everyone was almost choking on tears when he accompanied each rose with a parting message.

The First Rose

Dave presented Mary with the first rose and said, “The first rose is for a little baby girl that God let my grandfather and me, to find in the woods.” The first rose was dedicated to the first meeting with Mary when she was an infant whom Dave and his grandfather found in the woods and then helped her.

The Second One

The next rose was for their second meeting when Dave had to say farewell to the little girl with a name assigned to her by the authorities, “The second is for the little baby girl named Roseann Wayne that two angels brought to me to say good-bye when I was in school,”.

The Final Rose

The last rose was for the lady standing across the room, whom he had met after more than 5 decades and that too after a lot of work for finding her and he said that  “The third rose is for today and for a very special lady who was saved by the hand of God, Mary Ellen Suey,”.

An Unfathomable Bond

Mary never might have thought that the man who saved her life 58 years would end up in her living room someday because she did not even know the name of the person who saved her from a doomed fate. But the moment these guys met, it was like a bond like no other. They were total strangers but they knew each other from the first moment they met.

“Hope Is A Good Thing”

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

“This story just says that you never give up. You follow your hopes and dreams and believe that it can be done,” said Mary. “It also shows that we have a lot of good people here, always have and always will.”She further added. It was the belief of Dave in hope and his perseverance that led to this beautiful moment.
