The girl—Raudhatul Janna, 4 at the time—had been living with her family in Aceh, Indonesia, and on the day of the tsunami, had been pulled from her father's grasp along with her older brother, Arif, and had ended up on a remote island called Banyak.

Following Raudhatul's return this past June, Jamaliah, her mother had hoped to search the same Banyak Island for her son.

But when media released a photo of the missing boy who would now be a teen—a couple, some 560 miles away, contacted the family saying they'd allowed a homeless teenage boy to sleep in their internet café, and he looked a lot like Arif.

According to the Huffington Post report, the café owner showed the boy a picture of Jamaliah, at which he exclaimed, "That's mother!"

Now, the entire family is extremely grateful to be together again.
