The news of his return was what she had prayed for and she was delighted to know that nothing bad had happened to him. “He boarded the wrong taxi and ended up past La Lucia, so he tried walking and I think got lost along the way. A friend of my son-in-law was driving in La Lucia when he saw Brent sitting at the post office and asked his name. When he called to tell me the news (of Brent’s discovery), all I wanted was to hear his voice. Only then could I be sure,” she said smiling.
