Reunion after 46 years: Abadulla Gemeda's son finally finds his father


For 46 years, Abadulla Gemeda's son had been searching for his father. But after decades of searching and hoping, he finally found the man he had been looking for: his father. It was an emotional reunion between Abadulla's son Ermiyas T/Mariyam and Abadulla Gemeda after such a long time apart. In this blog post, 


We'll tell the incredible story of how Abadulla's son was able to find his father after all these years.


How it all started


It all began when Abadula Gemeda, a farmer from Ethiopia, married his wife in the early 1960s. They had four children, a daughter, and three sons. As was the tradition in Ethiopia, Abadula followed his family’s migration to the Somali region. In the early 1970s, he moved away from his wife and children, leaving them behind in Ethiopia.



Abadula never saw his wife and children again. He returned to Ethiopia decades later, hoping to find them, but to no avail. His family had been scattered over the years by war and famine, with no trace of them left.

For 13-year-old Ermiyas T/Mariyam, Abadula’s son, this meant the beginning of a long search. Ermiyas had heard rumors about his father living in a distant town and was determined to find him. He started by asking around in his hometown for any information about Abadula, as well as searching online and even reading his father’s book, "My Story: Abadula Gemeda's Journey Through Time ''.


After 46 years of searching, Ermiyas finally found his father. The two were able to reconnect through a mutual friend and made arrangements to meet in person. For both Ermiyas and Abadula, the reunion was a moment they thought they would never experience - a joyous event that had been 46 years in the making.



The search

When Abadula Gemeda's son better known as Ermiyas was 13, he started searching for his father. He had no idea where to start and so he relied on the information that he had been given. He heard stories about his father and read up on the history of the area, trying to find any clues that would lead him to his father's whereabouts. He also asked his mother and other family members, hoping to find someone who might know something.

 

One of the key pieces of information that he had been given was that Abadula Gemeda had been married before. His son reached out to Abadula Gemeda's wife to learn more about him and their relationship. After some research, the son found out that Abadula Gemeda had a daughter, who he was able to get in touch with. She was able to provide additional information that eventually led him to his father's current location.


The search took over four decades, but the son was eventually able to locate Abadula Gemeda after conducting interviews with local elders and people who knew his father.


He was even able to track down a book about Abadula Gemeda's life and his family, which provided more clues as to how to find him. With all of this information, Abadula Gemeda's son finally succeeded in finding his father after 46 years.





The reunion


After 46 years of searching, Abadula Gemeda's son finally found his father. The reunion was a momentous occasion in their history, one that the family will never forget. After finally finding his father, Abadula Gemeda's son could not contain his joy and relief.


The pair spent time together catching up on the past 46 years and discovering what had changed in their lives. Abadula Gemeda had remarried and now had two more children, a wife, and a daughter. They shared stories about their respective lives and the experiences that led to this moment.

Abadula Gemeda granted his son an interview and discussed his journey from Ethiopia to the United States. He also discussed his new book and the experiences he wrote about in it.


The reunion brought joy to the entire family as they got to know each other better. Abadula Gemeda's wife, daughter, and other children welcomed his long-lost son into the family. It was a moment that none of them would ever forget and one that will become part of the Abadula Gemeda family history.



What has changed?


When Abadula Gemeda was reunited with his son after 46 years, the emotions felt were that joy and amazement. However, since the time he had last seen his son, a lot had changed. Abadula’s daughter and wife had both passed away and he was the only remaining member of his family. He had also gone on to become a famous historian and author, having written several books on Ethiopian history.


In an interview conducted by the media, Abadula expressed how much had changed between them in the past 46 years. He commented on how his son had grown into a successful businessman, providing for his family. The two went on to form a strong bond and Abadula felt incredibly blessed to have found his son again.


conclusion


The story of Abadula Gemeda and his son Ermiyas is one of hope and resilience. After all these years, despite all the changes, they were still able to find one another and forge a strong connection. It serves as an inspiration to those who are currently in their long searches.
