Comer, a photography major, had already planned her senior thesis project before tracking down her biological mother. But she eventually scrapped the original project to focus on "Meeting Sheila" instead.
It wasn’t until two days into Comer’s final semester of college that the adoption agency told her that Sheila had received her information, and she learned her biological mother was only a state away. Comer wrote a hopeful letter, and Sheila responded a few weeks later in a short but touching way that expressed her mutual excitement.
The next day, they talked on the phone a bit. They revealed some personal details about their lives and the adoption, and found they both had artistic interests. The two scheduled an in-person visit for Comer to visit Sheila in Florida.
“I was very eager to meet Sheila, and I know she was just as eager to meet me," Comer said. "But if she had been further away, I probably would have waited until I graduated to make the trip to Florida. "Still, it wasn’t really about proximity. Time was a much larger factor. I only had five weeks left in Savannah when I realized Sheila and I could finally meet. I wanted to utilize the time I had left, which meant a visit every weekend."
