Two days after a family thought they had buried their son, he called to say he was alive and well.
The Garcia family in Mexico thought their 25-year-old son had become another migrant who drowned trying to swim the treacherous, fast flowing Rio Grande River in his bid to get to America.
But after the family buried what they thought was the body of Omar Garcia Escobedo, a factory worker and father of a 10-month-old boy, he called to say he was alive in the border city of Brownsville, Texas.
That makes you almost want to cry. I'm glad he's alive.
