It has been a long and often heartbreaking journey from Ireland to Palmerston North for the Dunne family. Elizabeth and James’ much longed-for baby Harrison was born 10 months ago, floppy and unable to breathe on his own. His parents’ hopes to travel and settle back in Elizabeth’s home city of Palmerston North were thrown into disarray.

DAVID UNWIN/Stuff Harrison and parents James and Elizabeth Dunne are finally reunited with grandparents Atsushi and Barbara Taniyama.
