244: Justin found his mom
About this episode
Sometimes,
there comes a moment in your life when everything changes.
You
might have a little warning ahead of time, or it might come as a
complete surprise. It might be a surprise that makes your whole life
better, or it could be news that’s devastating. We never know –
that’s just how life works.
Justin
had a moment like that. He was adopted the day after he was born, so
he never knew his birth mother. He had a wonderful childhood, and he
loves his family, but he always wondered about the woman who actually
gave birth to him.
Then,
that moment came – they found each other.
Justin
told this story on the podcast more than 7 years ago. And one of the
things that I love about this episode is a surprise I had for him
during our conversation. You’ll hear it right after the second ad
break. I hope you love this story as much as I do.
