Ross Colquhoun, who&#8217;s 37, shared on Twitter how he&#8217;d just met his 31-year-old sister Erin. The story began two years ago, when Ross bought a soccer game program on eBay. He said he got a message from the seller saying his purchase was being refunded, and the seller explained why &#8212; he was the father Colquhoun had never met. Colquhoun said that led to getting to know his father&#8217;s side of the family, but the pandemic got in the way of meeting his sister until Monday. He tweeted, &#8220;We laughed, we cried, and we shared stories. It felt like we&#8217;d known each other our entire lives. I was extremely nervous, but it was an absolutely beautiful and life affirming experience.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A 32-year-old\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/08\/us\/uber-driver-i95-job-trnd\/index.html\"><b>Uber driver<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">named DeVante Williams picked up a 16-year-old girl in D.C. last week.\u00a0 And he was driving her to Virginia when they got stuck in the big I-95 traffic jam.\u00a0 They couldn&#8217;t get through, so he eventually turned around.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He ended up talking to her parents, and got her a hotel room to make sure she was safe.\u00a0 Then the story went viral, and now he&#8217;s got a new job.\u00a0 An upscale rideshare company called Alto hired him.\u00a0 He&#8217;ll be training other drivers on customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today&#8217;s Good News ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":26990,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-27 06:15:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2022\/01\/long-lost-siblings-and-uber-driver-steps-up\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27375"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27376,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27375\/revisions\/27376"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
