After Husband’s Death, Stewardess Runs into Man Who Looks Exactly like Him on the Plane — Story of the Day
“I’m sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning, Mrs. Fisher, but I needed to talk about something important.”
“Oh, come in. Come in. I was just making breakfast. Anyway, after you two moved out, this place never felt like home anymore.”
“Actually, Mrs. Fisher, I wanted to speak with you about Bob. I know this may seem unusual to you, but I met this guy on a flight yesterday….and he…he looked exactly like Bob.”
Mrs. Fisher’s eyes almost welled up when Kristin mentioned that, and she noticed weird anxiety in the woman’s eyes at one point. “Is everything okay, Mrs. Fisher’? You look…”
“I have something to tell you, Kristin. Could you please go to my room and get the album from my bedside drawer?”
Kristin had no idea what was going on, but she did what Mrs. Fisher instructed. Then the older woman asked her to take a seat and showed her a photograph of twins. “You see these babies? It’s Bob and his twin brother.”
“What?” Kristin couldn’t believe her ears!
“You know that Bobby didn’t have a father. He left me when I got pregnant. Later I found out that I was having twins. I gave birth to them, but I knew that I couldn’t bring up two sons even then. I was 19 years old, my parents were poor, and I was still a student. So I decided that I would give up one child. I took their picture before leaving one of them at an orphanage. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I didn’t have a choice.”
Kristin couldn’t fight back her tears as Mrs. Fisher began sobbing over the photos. Fortunately, she had Steven’s business card with her, so she decided to prepare a surprise for her.
