I'm thrilled my article made the front page of the Victoria Advocate today. Daily reporters are used to the feeling of seeing their stories there, just like I am when I see my stories in the front page of a weekly.
But it is also bittersweet, because I am also sad about it. A family has lived not knowing where their son was for 38 years. They had the hope that he would be found alive.
Every time I write an article, my hope is that the reader will read the whole article in its entirely and leave with a feeling of understanding. My hope is that I myself is satisfied with what I have written.
It was an honor speaking to his mother and I have to say she has been so strong through it all.
Through the interviews I had with her over the phone, I sometimes found it difficult to ask her some of questions because I knew it would bring her sadness.
But she was open and sincere and I hope that I was able to transcribe her feelings through this story.
Until next time, thanks for reading.
