Children Receive Invitations to Old Father’s Funeral, See Him at Home Two Days Later – Story of the Day
When Grant couldn’t get his children to come to his house for the holidays, he came up with an idea and sent them shocking letters. They showed up at his home and were surprised to see him for a specific reason.

It was time to do something, and he had an idea. It was a bit drastic, and they might get mad at him, but it might work.

A few months after the Christmas holidays, he sent three identical letters to his children, and the contents couldn’t have been more shocking.
Kate opened her letter when she returned home from the supermarket. She cried all night, thinking about how she missed the holidays with her dad and would never get those memories again.
John’s wife opened his and called him at work. He rushed home, cried in her arms, and they made plans. Meanwhile, Daniel grabbed his on his way out for a jog...
