THE PERFECT GIFT

In February 2017, Kevin Duke started planning for his daughter's very special 16th birthday coming up the following month. A few weeks before the big day, the proud dad finally got the perfect gift to get his daughter.

He decided to buy the teenager a car to take advantage of finally attaining the legal driving age. So, Duke began his research on the best car for his daughter. Eventually, he settled on a rare gem — a second-hand silver Ford Fusion.

Duke purchased the car, and since he bought it a few weeks ahead of his daughter's birthday, it gave him enough time to look around the vehicle, giving it a thorough fix-up and ensuring it worked perfectly before presenting it to his daughter.

He spent weeks fiddling around with the car, and on a fateful day, he noticed something he had not before. Duke noticed that the bottom of the storage compartment was removable. So, he popped it open and was stunned by what he saw.

A LETTER TO REMEMBER

Inside the compartment was a small marked envelope, tucked away neatly. Duke became even more curious when he saw what was written on the envelope. It read, "New Car Owner, Important Info Inside."

Duke proceeded to read the letter's content, which left him in tears. The note was shared on the Facebook page of Love What Matters, and it read:

"To the person that gets this car, I just want to let you know what a special car you've bought. This car belonged to my mum. She passed away Feb 25, 2015 in a house fire along with my 6 year old daughter and my aunt."
