14-Year-Old Boy Approaches His Poor Single Father and Says, ‘Dad, I Found Mom’ – Story of the Day

Andrew raised his son Mark alone after he was told his wife died in a car accident ten years prior. He was surprised to one day hear his son say that he found his mother.

Mark and Andrew lived together in poverty. Andrew struggled to find a stable job after losing his wife, Diana, and they had to live within their means. As Mark got older, he began to question where his mother was. One day, his dad finally told him the truth.

“Your mom disappeared ten years ago after she got into a car accident when you were only three years old. She was out of town on a business trip, and she never made it back. I’ve been looking for her for years, but I never found her. I’m sorry, son,” Andrew explained.

Mark had many questions about his mom. He would ask about their love story, what she was like, and what her favorite things were. Andrew shared that Mark’s mom was incredibly beautiful.

“My friends used to envy me because I was with the most beautiful girl in the room. Your mom was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met,” he smiled as he patted his son’s head.

“Dad, I’ve also been looking for mom, but I haven’t found anything on her. We will find her. Let’s promise each other that we’ll do everything we can to find her,” Mark said. Andrew nodded, trying to fight back his tears.

One day, Mark was at his friend’s house for dinner when he told them the story of his mom. Since then, his friends were determined to help him find her. They would be on the internet for hours, trying to find traces of her.

They’ve been searching for over a week when suddenly, Mark’s friend screamed, “Oh my god!” They all rushed to the computer screen and saw a photo of a woman who looked exactly like Mark’s mom. However, she had a different name.

“Let’s write her a message!” Mark said eagerly. He sat on the computer chair and started typing:

My name is Mark. This is going to sound so strange, but my mom disappeared ten years ago, and you look so much like her. Please, tell me, could this picture be you? This is one of the few pictures I have of my mom,” he wrote before attaching a photo of their family when he was only three years old.

As it was...
