Son Runs Away from Home at 16, Comes Back at 29 to Find Only a Note in Deserted House, Story of the Day

Once upon a time, there was a young guy named Joey who lived on a farm with his mom, Flora. Joey had big dreams of becoming a doctor, but he felt stuck in the countryside. One day, he decided to leave home to chase his dreams in the city.

Before he left, Joey wrote a note to his mom, telling her he loved her but had to go. He thought she would understand. But as the years passed, he never called or visited.

Thirteen years later, Joey returned home excited to see his mom again. But when he got there, the house was empty and run-down. Panicked, he searched everywhere for Flora, but she was nowhere to be found.

Then, Joey found a burnt letter from his mom, saying she missed him terribly and wished he hadn’t left. Heartbroken, Joey realized he’d made a big mistake.

With the help of a neighbor, Joey found Flora in the hospital. They hugged and cried, both sorry for the time they’d lost.

Joey shared his story with his mom, telling her about his journey to become a doctor. Flora was proud of him and agreed to move to the city with him. Finally, after many years apart, Joey and Flora were reunited, never wanting to be apart again. And they lived happily ever after.
