"I prayed that I would live to see this time when he would do well."

(Brooklyn, NY)—Most people by now have heard of, and seen, Ted Williams, the homeless man with a velvet "radio" voice found panhandling on the side of an Interstate highway ramp in Columbus, Ohio.

As reported on CBS News, Williams' biggest wish was to see his 90-year-old mother, Julia Williams, of Brooklyn, so Early Show co-anchor Chris Wragge brought Julia to New York to reunite the mother and son who had not seen each other in ten years.

In an ensuing interview, Julia told Wragge, "God has answered my prayer. I prayed that I would live to see this time when he would do well."

Indeed, of his mother Ted had said: "One of my, one of my, my biggest prayers that I…sent out was that she would live long enough for me to, you know, rebound or whatever. And I guess God kept her around, and he kept my pipes around, you know, to, to maybe just have one more shot."
