A Glasgow mum who presumed her son was dead after he went missing over a decade ago is celebrating a “Christmas miracle” after discovering that he is alive and well.
Joyce Curtis had resigned herself to the fact that son Nicholas had passed away, having last spoken with him in 2010.
“Everyone is asking after him now. Nikki is a good boy. The feeling is that I still can’t believe it. She said: “This has just made Christmas for me, especially since my husband died back in June. My God. It’s like that A year later, Mrs Curtis was contacted by the British Consulate in Paris to notify her that Nicholas had been admitted to hospital in France. Not long after that Mrs Curtis and her husband flew over to visit him.That was to be the last time she saw or heard from her son for over a decade.
“They were sending him home and I was told he was getting put on a flight. I was expecting him home at Glasgow at a certain time. I worked at the Southern General Hospital at the time. I was waiting on him coming home and there was no sign.“When I was over visiting him in France I bought him some shoes and stuff like that so he could have clothes to travel home with. I was waiting in work. But he never got home. I remember it was pouring of rain that day.
