Man Who Hasn’t Seen His Old Dad for 17 Years Visits and Sees His House Ruined — Story of the Day

A man who neglected his father for 17 years gets the shock of his life when he returns home to check on him – the house was in shambles and his father was missing.

Edward Morris raised his son Joseph alone after his wife died of cancer when Joseph was only ten years old. He gave their son the best of everything and never missed an opportunity to be by his side, whether it was school festivities, parent-teacher meetings, or even graduation.

However, when Joseph got a job and became self-sufficient, he considered Edward nothing more than a burden.

“Why can’t you do things on your own, Dad?” Joseph yelled at him when Mr. Morris called him for help with his cell phone.

“Well, son, you children know so much about technology and everything. These things didn’t exist when we were your age,” his father said, pleading with his son for help. “I’ve been trying to check my account statement, but I’m not sure how you do it…”

When Mr. Morris tried calling him, Joseph didn’t bother to return his calls, and if he answered, it would be his secretary on the line, informing him that Joseph was caught up with something.

Mr. Morris lived alone in a little house, and the loneliness eventually took its toll on his health, causing him to become gravely ill. When Joseph still didn’t return his calls, he began writing letters to him. But to the older man’s chagrin, he never received a letter in reply.

Clearly, Joseph didn’t want him to be a part of his life, Mr. Morris thought. However, everything changed one day…

Joseph returned to his father’s house 17 years later, puzzled as to why his father hadn’t written him a letter in the previous few...
