Forty-nine years ago, Zella Jackson-Price was told that her premature baby died a few hours after birth. Her baby infant, Diane, only lived a few hours, according to the nurse at Homer G. Philips Hospital, but 49 years later, Diane is very much alive and ready to meet her mother. Upon arrival at the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, Diane’s excitement couldn’t be contained as she was about to meet her mother for the first time. Meanwhile, Zella also shared the same feeling of excitement as she awaited her daughters coming.

Zella talked about Diane’s hearing impairment since age three,

“She’s deaf and can’t hear because of measles, and I think if she had been with me this would not have happened. I want to see her roll down this street. I guess I might snatch her out of the car.”
