Rich Orphan Visits His Foster Family 10 Years after Moving Out, Finds Dilapidated House There – Story of the Day
An orphan decided to visit his foster family ten years after moving out in order to thank them for all they've done for him. When he arrived in front of their dilapidated house, he asked what happened and how it ended up that way.
Chuck looked around the room with a smile on his face, savoring the moments he had with his foster family. He had just turned 18 and was now ready to go to college.
He watched how his foster mom sang him a happy birthday as she clapped her hands, and how his dad had an arm on his mom's shoulder as he sang along. Then he looked at his foster brother, Ivan, who looked bored out of his wits with his head on the table, refusing to sing along.

Chuck loved his family dearly because they never treated him as an outcast. Although he and Ivan did not get along, he knew that his parents loved him because they spent their own money raising him.
"I will miss you guys so much. Thank you for this birthday celebration," he told them before blowing out the candles on his cake.
"We will miss you too, son. I hope you come back and visit us once you're done with university," his foster dad Chase told him.
Chuck blew out his candles and made a wish. They enjoyed one last meal together before he was off to college.
"Oh, sweetheart," his mom sighed. "I can still remember the day we got you and took you home. I can't believe you're all grown up and going to college," she said, tears forming in her eyes.
"I know, mom. I am the luckiest boy. I am so thankful that you took me in. Without you, I am nothing," Chuck said, holding his mom's hand. "Thank you for all the love and care you gave me."

At this point, Ivan had enough. "Oh, please," he rolled his eyes. "Can we just eat in silence? Your sentimentality is making me sick!"
Instead of fighting back, Chuck smiled. "I know you'll enjoy not having me around anymore, Ivan, but I'll miss you too."
That night, Chuck couldn't sleep in excitement. His bags were all packed and he was ready to take the bus to the university the following day.
"It's time to go, honey," his mom called out to him the next morning.
