Arnold’s 93rd birthday wish was simple: to hear his children’s laughter fill his home one last time. But as the day passed, only silence remained. His cottage, weathered with time, held memories of a once bustling family. Sitting in his favorite chair with his cat Joe, Arnold gazed at old photos and cherished memories, longing for his children to return.
The loneliness grew as his calls to his kids went unanswered, or were cut short. Determined, Arnold wrote heartfelt letters, asking them to come home for Christmas. The next day, he sent the letters, clinging to hope.
Christmas morning came, and Arnold waited in vain. But as night fell, a knock echoed through the house. His children, along with grandchildren, stood at the door, finally answering his wish. They brought dinner, gifts, and laughter. Arnold’s home, once silent, was filled with love, and his birthday wish was fulfilled.
