Poor Man Finds a Package on His Doorstep with His Late Father’s Old Jacket — What He Found in the Pocket Shocked Him
You’ve always valued family and cherished our memories together. This jacket, filled with fond moments, is a symbol of our bond.
Remember, my son, you possess a beautiful soul and incredible strength. You don’t need your brother to succeed. Believe in yourself and the goodness within you. I love you so much, son.
With all my heart, Dad
Tears blurred his vision. He clutched the letter to his chest, feeling an overwhelming wave of emotions. His father’s faith in him, his father’s love—it was all too much.
“Damn it, Dad,” he whispered, his voice breaking. “Why did you have to go?”
Dad’s passing two short months ago and his brother Dylan’s subsequent betrayal were still fresh wounds in his heart. Dylan, always the businessman, had wasted no time in claiming the family estate for himself, evicting Alex without a second thought.
Alex had nowhere to go except the trailer, the same trailer their family had used for countless road trips across the country.
Living here wasn’t so bad. It reminded him of those long summer nights by the campfire, the laughter echoing through the woods, and the stories his father would tell about their ancestors. Alex’s heart ached with the weight of those memories and the stark contrast to his current reality.
The trailer was all he had now, a relic of happier times when the family was whole and love was abundant.
He picked up the jacket, the familiar smell of his father hitting him like a punch. Memories flooded back—sneaking into the hall closet as a child, searching the pockets for the candies his father always seemed to have.
