At His Father’s Funeral, Son Sees His Late Dad’s Carbon Copy Watching from Afar — Story of the Day
After everybody left his father George’s funeral, Michael was alone weeping. After a while, he noticed a man looking at him from a distance, and he looked exactly like his father.
Michael stood beside his mother, Elizabeth, during his father’s funeral, accepting condolences from those who stopped by. His father, George, died of cancer, and before his death, he devoted all of his free time to his beloved son.
“What will I do without you, dad?” Michael sobbed as he sat alone after all their friends and relatives left. He sat by his father’s grave and wept while his mother went to settle payments at the cemetery’s admin office.
At 20 years old, Michael couldn’t imagine living the rest of his life without his dad. They were inseparable and would spend a lot of time together playing sports or going on food trips.
As tears continued streaming down his face, Michael looked up from the ground and noticed a man observing him from a couple of meters away. His first instinct was to look for a place to hide until he slowly realized that the man looked like his late father.
“Dad?” he suddenly said, wiping his tears. Instead of running to hide, Michael decided to run up to him. When he came face to face with the man, it struck him how much he looked like his father.
“Who are you?” he asked the man.
“Hi, Michael. I’m your uncle. My name is Steve, and I am your father’s twin brother,” the man replied.
Likewise, Steve was surprised at how Michael looked so much like George. He knew that his twin brother was barren, so seeing George’s son up close puzzled him. He assumed that Michael was George’s adopted son when he saw the obituaries.
“Could it be that he’s my son?” he thought to himself as he observed Michael.
“Brother? My dad never told me he had a brother. Where were you all this time?” Michael asked him.
“Well, when I was 24, my girlfriend kicked me out and eloped with my best friend. George didn’t want to help me that time because he was courting your mother. So I eventually became homeless. A kind passerby helped me and offered me a job. I ended up in another state because of that job,” Steve explained.
