EXCERPT:

Last October Mrs Grube’s sister, Beryl Wilson, typed the name Gavin Paros into Google and found a link someone of that name on the social networking site.

A frustrating wait followed. With more than 200 million users there was a possibility that the Facebook member merely shared the name with Mrs Grube’s son. It was several weeks before Gavin Paros, by now a 30-year-old father of three, checked his Facebook page and found the message from his aunt.

Mother and son were reunited at 4am on Thursday after her husband picked him up from Gatwick Airport and drove him to their home in Poole, Dorset. Mrs Grube, 61, who is partially disabled after a stroke, could not wait to see Gavin.

She said: “I couldn’t sleep, I just sat waiting for him to arrive

2. Internet bringing family & friend's together

My mother came to America from Australia as a war bride & lost contact with her whole family 3 year's after she got here. Due to the internet I was able to find them in 1999 & she flew back home for a reunion after not having contact with them for 53 year's. About 2 year's ago I also found a half brother via the internet that I had never met & we finally got to meet face to face last August. For me the internet has been wonderful!
