When Amanda was three months old, she had an accident. At the time, the girl was ill with a fever, and when her mother applied menthol ointment to her and rolled over to change her diaper, the girl fell from the couch onto the steamer.
Susan remembers when she first started working at the burn center. And this little girl was almost his first patient. She was surprised that the baby didn’t cry or even sleep after the operation.
The nurses talked to her all the time, even putting her on their lap so they could take pictures. It was not a staged photo, and no one cared how Amanda looked at the time, as she was fighting for her life.
38 years have passed. Amanda Scarpinatti used to look at this photo when she was having a bad day. She decided to search for the patron goddess of the distant past.
“I spent the next few years tending to my burns. The kids made fun of me, stopped inviting me to their homes, and lots of people told me I was scary. And I felt very frustrated. In addition to taking care of my parents, it is this “image of love woven together” that has always sustained me. A stranger, a woman, embraced me with a tenderness that no one else could do to a child.
Whenever I was going through a difficult time, I always looked at this photo and it gave me the strength to be happy again.”
Hundreds of people reposted her message, and within a day, Susan Burger was found.
Two weeks later, the girls met. It was so heartwarming and touching that everyone cried.
And the two soul mates found themselves in each other’s arms as if they had never been apart.
