| Video- Sunday Good News: Woman, 81, Meets 103-year-old Mother After 60-year Search |
| 2019-05-20 |
| [WeaselZipper] An 81-year-old Irish woman has said she still has not come out of the clouds after meeting her estranged mother for the first time after 60 years of searching. Eileen Macken grew up in a Bethany Home orphanage and had never met her birth mother. Last year, having started searching when she was 19, Ms Macken contacted RTÉ’s Liveline and made an appeal to track her mother down. Earlier this year Ms Macken said that with the help of a genealogist she had managed to find her mother who was 103 years old and was living in Scotland. When she found out that her mother was still alive, Ms Macken told RTÉ News that "just to touch her, it would mean so much". Last month Ms Macken;s wish came true as she travelled to Scotland with her husband George, along with her daughter and son-in-law, to meet her mother, Elizabeth. "I went over to see her and she is the most beautiful lady," Ms Macken said. Blessings, dear ladies |

| #1 That's a better story than the next about the guy who spent his entire professional life searching for UFOs. This woman had a payoff; she found her mother after 60 years. |
