I was searching for a feelgood story for Bob's thread for Christmas, and it turned up in such an unlikely place.
80-something couple Mr and Mrs Tarantino of Laguna Woods, Orange County, just vanished in their car. Family said both had cognitive issues, and to be honest, their case sounded so ominous, I couldn't really cope with following it. I helped share their missing status, but that was all. I was sure there was going to be a report of a vehicle found in a ditch off the highway, in a few weeks' time.....
They turned up 'slightly confused' in Vegas. Exactly where they'd planned to go, but didn't get around to telling the kids. I think they'd maybe decided to go a little wild at Christmas, instead of sitting peacefully around the family dinner table! Anyway, family have zipped down to Vegas to bring them safely home, and hopefully they'll keep the kids in the loop and let them lend a hand with their next adventure - it'll save an awful lot of worry!
