Part 5: Am I Reading this Right??

Around 11:50pm Feb 13th I'm in my painting studio feeling very emotional and missing my mom, tears streaming down my face as I try and paint something with one of her old sketches, when my phone goes off with an email. It's David Eng! You know, the guy from that random band I emailed and thought nothing else about??? Yep, him!

His response:

Hi Elijah,

I am David from the band, from the photos attached, one or two of them looks quite familiar, not really sure it's them as the photo was taken over 50 years ago.

As you mentioned about distant relative of your wife, is it possible to know a bit about her as I can contact with some of the friends at the mean time?

Kind Regards,

David

I started shaking cause I could feel a seed of hope like I never had before. Remember I've been trying for YEARS to get some sort of connection. I ran inside and for the next 20 min tried to write an email that would in the shortest way possible bring him "up to speed" with this whole crazy story! And before I could pen another 3 additional notes adding some details I thought would help him in his search, he fired back 5 min later the following response:

Congratulations, here's your guy. he is waiting on facebook.

One small question, Why wait so long? Aud's a rock star here, he was always my idol

From there I started asking him all kinds of questions just to test and make sure I wasn't about to be scammed and promised some awesome marsh land in an imaginary place!! haha The conversation darted back and forth and as David wished me a wonderful Valentines Day....I'm suddenly friend requested by her dad on FB.
