Social media is meant for making friends not only of the same country but also other. Most of the people find their friends and relatives through Facebook and other social networking sites. Here comes a heart-warming tale from Gorakhpur. A youth befriends a 60-year-old woman thousands of miles away in California, USA and built a mother-son bond. Deborah Miller, a 60-year-old American woman based in California was the Facebook mother of 28-year-old Krishna Mohan Tripathy. She had acquired Krishna Mohan from social networking website Facebook four years ago.
Recently, on 30th January, she flew from America and took a train to Gorakhpur, UP, to attend her Facebook Sons marriage where she was totally emotional.
Krishna Mohan Tripathy had lost his mother when he was in teenage. He found Miller a comforting presence, with whom he corresponded on Facebook and developed a bond over the years. “It all started four years ago when I commented on an America-India page on FB. I was interested in making friends from different countries and one Bert of USA was my friend on FB. Aunty (Deb) was on his friends’ list. She sent me a friend request and I accepted,” he says. “One day she asked me to become her son as she had no children. I immediately accepted. Now I’m her son,” he said. Miller told that “I do not have children and when I interacted with Krishna, I felt God had fulfilled my wishes. He is a very nice person and I pray to God that all his wishes come true. I don’t have words to describe how well I have been treated. I just want to thank Krishna and his family for having the faith to bring me here.”
