脸谱网帮助找寻四十年前护士
It took 40 years -- and the power of Facebook -- to make this reunion happen. On Sunday, an Alabama man was finally reunited with a nurse who went into his life and helped brighten his childhood all those years ago.
Gary Bentley was just 10 years old when he underwent open heart surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham in 1973. As AL.com reports, doctors discovered he needed the life-saving operation to repair a hole in his heart, not long after Bentley and his six brothers and sisters had been taken from an abusive home.
He says he never forgot the young nurse named Kathy who helped him through those difficult times. But he didn't know her last name, and he lost track of her after he recovered.
Decades passed. Bentley grew up, had a family and settled in Killen, Alabama, where he runs a farming business. Then last week, his wife Gwen posted an old photo on Facebook. It showed Gary Bentley as a young boy with a surgical scar running down his chest and a smiling nurse by his side.
It didn't take long for the photo to spread and get picked up by local media. Within days, it was spotted by nurse Kathy Henricks' college roommate, who told her the story. The two finally had a reunion at a Birmingham park on Sunday.
