A story has captivated hearts around the world An elderly father who was who was abandoned by his family turned to a unique disguise in order to find his children.
The man who had was living on his own since his kids separated themselves from him, started working in taxis, in order to make ends meet. He had no idea that fate would change the way it did.
While waiting for a passenger on the way to airports, he became stunned when his children and daughters-in law stepped into the cab. They had been years between them about their lives, but they could not recognise the tired driver at the car.
During most of the journey and the ride, the father did not speak. As his feelings grew overwhelming the father asked him, “Do you know who you’re sitting with?”
The car sank into a tense silence. Son turned to his father, turning in a confused an excuse for disbelief. The reality flooded into. There were tears in the eyes of his father as the father realized how far distance had gotten between them. Not just in distance however, but also in love.
People who attended the reunion say it was full of both joy and sadness. For the son the reunion was a hurtful recall of the father that he left behind. For his father it was a reminder that he’d lost touch with the family he was a part of.
The news, which is now being circulated through social media it has provoked heated discussions concerning parental neglect and the sadness that elderly parents are left to endure. “Parents give everything to raise us,” one person wrote on Twitter “yet so many are left alone when they need love the most.”
It is not known if this incident brought about an agreement however, the image of a father hiding himself to show his own children created a lasting impression on all who heard it.
It’s a sad reminder that the best travels don’t involve crossing the globe or cities instead, they are back in the heart of the people who we were once considered family.
