I’ve been saving money to help pay for her schooling one day. But in case something ever happens to me…
Please don’t let her dream disappear.
Help her go to college. Help her become whatever she wants to be.
I know you can.
Love,
Daniel
Richard lowered the letter slowly.
The cemetery seemed unnaturally quiet.
For a long moment, he couldn’t speak.

Finally, he looked at Lily.
“You’ve been keeping this all this time?”
The girl nodded.
“He gave it to me a few months before… before the accident.”
Her voice cracked.
“He told me to only give it to you if something ever happened to him.”
Richard felt an ache spreading through his chest.
“My son…” he whispered.
He had spent years believing Daniel was drifting through life, unsure of his future.
But now he was seeing a side of his son he had never truly understood.
A compassionate young man quietly changing someone’s life.
Richard looked at Lily again.
