Vamarr Hunter had no idea that baking was in his blood.

Sure, he loved eating baked sweets, which he frequently ate at Give Me Some Sugah, near his residence on Chicago’s South Side.

“Lemon bars. That was my catch” – Hunter he said ABC-7 in Chicago. “And chocolate chip cookies. And lemon cake.

The humble bakery felt like home, a feeling cultivated by owner Lenore Lindsey.

“You know, she interacts on a personal level,” he said.

He didn’t know the way deep his bond with Lindsey was. When Hunter was 35, he confirmed what he had long suspected – he was adopted.

Lindsey gave her son up for adoption when she was 17. She had never met him, or at the very least she thought so.

“I left the adoption open and said, you know, if he really wants to find me, he’ll be able to find me,” she said.

Hunter tracked down Lindsey using a genetic profile and genealogy. He was shocked to discover that his biological mother was practically a neighbor.

Lindsey was notified and agreed to meet. She called him from work.

The number appeared on his phone as “Give me some sugah.”

“And all I can think about is why,” Hunter said. “Why do I have ‘Give me some sugah’?” I didn’t order anything. And I still do not get it.

Then he hears his mother’s voice. They exchanged greetings “and then we started screaming,” Lindsey said. “And I started crying on that phone.”

“When I called him, the connection was immediate,” she continued. “I am unable to even explain it. It was as if all the things in my heart had just opened up.

The lost years faded away. Lindsey, who had serious health problems at the time, needed help. Hunter volunteered. He had never worked in a bakery before, but he quickly became accustomed to the family business.

“You can’t make up for lost time and days,” Hunter said. The only thing you’ll be able to do is make good use of the time you have got.”

Lindsey’s health improved and he or she returned to work at the bakery now run by her son.

“Man, I love, I love my mom,” he said. “I really like having a mom. Hmm, it was hard, a lot of hard Mother’s Days.

Lindsey credits her faith with blessings she never dreamed of.

“I love my son… and the fact that I have him now, in his later years, is, like I said, just, God,” she said. “God is love.”

Hunter recently met the sister he never knew. He has 4 children of his own.

When he retires, he hopes one in every of his children will take over the family business.

The heartwarming story sparked tons of loving responses from viewers, with many calling for corporations like Netflix and Hallmark to make a movie.

“Netflix: “SAVE THIS!!!” – one in every of them exclaimed TikTok user. “This must be a movie,” added one other. “She did what was right for her baby and it worked. She got him back. He got her back. Amazing,” wrote one other user.
