(snip)
Wanda Rodriguez, 41, a head nurse at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, was working her usual late shift last week when she overheard a doctor talking on the phone about a new admission. The patient's name, Victor Peraza, sounded familiar.

"I froze for a second," Rodriguez said. "That's my father's name."

She walked back to the room. "Hi, I'm Wanda," she told the new patient. "I'm your daughter. He said, 'I know you're my daughter.' I think he knew like I knew. When we looked at each other, we knew instantly."

Peraza, reached by phone at the hospital, said: "Miracles do happen and seeing my daughter again was one of them."

3. Great article.

Good comments also except for the Mrs-T Mac who claimed forgiveness as a "Christian principle". The arrogance of that cult sometimes astounds me.
