Steve Walton’s day took an unexpected turn when Pastor Morris informed him of Susan, his estranged daughter. Nearly fifteen years after disowning her for marrying a poor man, Steve learned Susan was now homeless, living in a car with her four children.

Steve was shaken. He remembered the fierce argument when he had thrown Susan out for choosing a life of poverty with her love. Her father’s rage had driven her away, and she’d vanished without a trace.

Pastor Morris had spotted Susan in Los Angeles, working as a cleaner and surviving on leftovers from the mall where she worked. Her husband had died in an accident three years prior, and with the insurance and mortgage issues, Susan had been left with nothing.

Steve’s heart ached as he saw Susan’s worn face and the struggles she endured. Despite her hardships, Susan had raised her children with love and resilience. Meeting her, Steve was overwhelmed with regret. His daughter, once his princess, had endured so much.

“Forgive me, Susan,” Steve wept. “Please, come home. Let me help you.”

Susan’s tears mingled with his as she introduced her children, including little Stevie, named after Steve despite the estrangement. Steve realized his daughter’s love had never wavered.

The afternoon marked a new beginning. They flew back to Texas, where Steve promised to provide the life his daughter and grandchildren deserved.
