A wealthy man, abandoned by his parents in an orphanage 57 years ago, discovers they are now in a nursing home

Holding my newborn son in my arms, I was overwhelmed with a deep love I had never felt before. One thought marred the moment. I thought about how little I was when my parents left me at the foster home. I didn’t understand, now that I was a father myself, how anyone could do that to their child. My parents were wealthy, so being poor was not a reason to leave me. They just didn’t want me in their lives.
So, after 57 years of them leaving me and not being in my life, I got a call from a lawyer. He said my parents are in a nursing home, their trust funds are depleted, and they will be on the street in six months. My heart was pounding out of my chest, but I was determined to meet them.

A man abandoned at three by his wealthy parents is raised in an orphanage, finding love and success despite his painful past. Decades later, he discovers his destitute parents in a retirement home and must decide their fate.

Choosing compassion over bitterness, Brendan forgives them, takes them in, and donates his fortune to the orphanage that taught him love. This story reminds us that forgiveness heals, and love is worth more than money.
