A Father Found - Part 2

I began my search by having my mother write down anything and everything she knew about Raymond. She was able to recall his birthday and his mother's name. I then searched ancestry.com for more information about Raymond's mother. I found where his grandmother had lived in the Seattle area at one point. I searched Raymond's name and found dozens by the same living in and around Seattle, Washington. I then typed the name in ZabaSearch and was able to come up with a man by the same name that owned a small trucking company. I searched google and found his company website. I was surprised to find a cell phone number for Raymond on the site. I still was not sure that I had the right person, so I called the number and a woman answered. I simply told her that I would like to speak to Raymond and she turned me over to him. I told him that I did not know if I had the right person, but I would like to ask him a few questions. I gave him my mothers maiden name and asked if the name rang a bell. He was quite for a moment and then told me I had found the right guy. We had a short conversation and I was pleased to hear that he had tried to find my sister in the past. Unfortunately, he had no luck. I asked him for permission to have her call and he said he would love to speak with her. I called my sister and told her I need to write down a number and call it. She asked whose number it was and I told her that it was her father's and he was waiting for a call. She hung up the phone and cried for nearly an hour before getting up the courage to call. My sister and her father has since developed a father-daughter relationship. The following January, my sister flew to Seattle to meet her father face to face. She also got to meet several brother's and sister's. Today they remain very close.
