Man Who Is Certain His Sister Died 8 Years Ago Accidentally Sees Her at His New Friend’s House – Story of the Day
A young man who has been mourning his sister who died in an accident eight years before is stunned when he sees her at the home of a new friend from work.
Danny Ballon was just 17 when his older sister, Lily, died in a car accident with her husband. It was very traumatic for Danny and his parents since Lily and her husband’s bodies had burned in the wreck.
Two months after Lily died, the Ballons decided to leave Boston and move to Los Angeles as far away as possible from the place where their beloved daughter had died. Danny adapted to his new life in California, but he never ever forgot his beloved sister.

Peter was a calm, kind man and was often teased by the other engineers because he never joined them for after-work drinks. Peter was always in a hurry to go home to his wife to whom he was devoted. “Can’t blame him,” said one of Danny’s friends enviously. “She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen!”
Danny was curious about this lovely wife, but Peter had no photos of her on his desk. Then one day, Danny had his chance to meet...
