There is a saying that “the world is a handkerchief” because despite how big it can be, small coincidences are always just around the corner.
And as proof of this, there is a story that recently went viral on Twitter, where a user told how an eBay purchase led him to have contact with his biological father, whom he knew nothing about during his 37 years of life.
The curious story took place in the United Kingdom. A man named Ross Colquhoun entered eBay to be able to hire a platform to watch Premier League matches, as well as game statistics, especially Liverpool, a team he is a fan of because he never knew his biological father and the only thing he knew of him is that his mother, that is, his paternal grandmother, was from that city.
After purchasing this program on eBay, days later Ross was surprised to notice that there was a refund for his purchase on that online platform, and not only that, he had a message from the seller that left him extremely surprised, because he told him that he was his father.
“Just before the pandemic began, without knowing it, I bought something on eBay for my father, whom I never met. He paid it back”, began his Twitter thread, explaining his story.
“2 years later, I embarked on a journey to meet my family that I did not grow up with. And tonight I met my sister Erin for the first time,” added Colquhoun, along with a photo of the two of them.
Immediately, this man’s story went viral. Dozens of users wrote to him to ask him to tell more about the experience he had in meeting that part of his biological family with whom he had never had contact before.
Ross explained that meeting his sister Erin was an “absolutely beautiful and heartwarming” experience. The most curious thing is that they both lived in Scotland for a while, at the same time, when they were students.
“The concern is still there, but I really want to meet the members of the family who I still have to meet”, he added.
Finally, Colquhoun sent the following message to other people who, due to certain circumstances, have not been able to meet some members of their families: “If you have relatives who have never you have known, it can be very difficult to process. I hope these tweets comfort and inspire others to take the next step.”
