Noticing her estranged son in the news, Jessica begun a desperate attempt to reconnect with him. The pair had not spoken in five years.
And now the mother and son have a happy ending, with The Manchester Evening News reporting the pair have been reunited.

The mother explained that her son “gave me the biggest hug” and said “I’m glad you’re here mum”.
Jessica explained that Chris had been extremely shaken up by the horrific terror attacks.
“He needed to talk it through, to tell me how he felt. He got very emotional when he was talking,” she said.
She hopes Chris will continue to stay in touch in the future.
“As a mother, I want to clean him up, feed him, clothe him, but I’ve got to remember that I can’t do that, it’s not my place to do that.”
A GoFoundMe page for Chris, who has been homeless in Manchester for about a year, has so far raised $89,432 AUD.
