During Boy’s Birthday Party, Homeless Man Appears with Locket as Gift and Boy Recognizes It – Story of the Day
A boy receives an unexpected present from a homeless man on his fifteenth birthday and it turns his entire life upside down, including everything he thought he knew about himself.
Evan Masters never understood why his father disliked him so much. He was fourteen, but he’d known from the time he could barely walk that daddy didn’t like to touch him.
His dad never played with him, and when he talked to him, his voice was cold, and he never ever said Evan’s name. He wasn’t like that with Evan’s little brother and sister, not at all. He was kind and attentive and adoring.
Evan knew that there had to be something wrong with HIM or his dad would love him. He was lucky that his mom was so great. She almost made up for his dad’s coldness. Almost.

Evan sometimes had the feeling Christine Masters was unhappy. His mom would look off into the distance with the saddest look on her face. But when he asked her what was wrong, she would smile and say that everything was okay. Once, he even tried to talk to his father, and Jacob Masters just listened to Evan’s stammering attempt at getting through to him and just walked away.
