Daughter Discovers Mom's 26-Year-Old Message in a Bottle
TL;DR
A Canadian family experienced a heartwarming surprise when a message in a bottle, written by Makenzie Van Eyk as a fourth grader in 1998, was discovered by a kindergartner at the same school 26 years later. The message, part of a school project about the Great Lakes, was found near its original location in Lake St. Clair. The discovery was particularly special for Makenzie's daughter, Scarlet, who is now a fourth grader at the same school. The teacher who assigned the project expressed amazement at the bottle's survival over the years.
