A Scots mum who presumed her son was dead after he went missing over 10 years ago has hailed a 'miracle' after discovering he is alive and well.
Joyce Curtis thought that her son Nicholas had passed away as she hadn't seen or heard from him since 2010. The last thing she knew was that he was hitchhiking around France and Spain, but due to the pandemic, she thought Nicholas had died and even 'grieved for him.'
But she received a phone call on December 19 informing her that her son was alive and in hospital in the South of France. Joyce said: "I can't believe it. I thought with Covid and everything that has gone on, I thought he was dead. I grieved for him. When I got the call to say he was alive I just went into shock. All I did was cry all day.
