Meanwhile, Holly had been secretly following Brian’s life on Facebook, but was afraid to contact him.

She also worked as a medical assistant in the Heart Center of St. Mark’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, where Brian volunteered in the NICU department.

Crossed paths

The two had unknowingly crossed paths many times in the hospital, until Holly decided to send Brian a message on his 20th birthday.

The message changed their lives forever. Brian was overjoyed to hear from Holly and arranged to meet her the next day with their families.

They hugged and cried for a long time, amazed by the coincidence of working in the same place.

Surreal moment

“It was surreal. I just looked at her and I was like, ‘You’re real, like you’re in front of me.’”

Holly said she felt “joy just overflowed me” when she saw her son again.
