After my parents separated and my mom passed away, I went to live with my dad—the same man my mom had always called a hopeless loser. Living with him was awkward. He’d sneak out late at night, and I never knew where he was going. Prom was coming, but I didn’t care. I was in a wheelchair, had no date, and felt trapped in every way. Surgery might help, but we couldn’t afford it. I planned to skip prom altogether. Then my dad—the guy everyone doubted—surprised me by saying he was taking me. What happened next blew me away. At prom, people warmed up to him, and he even got me dancing. The next day, a package arrived with a $10,000 check and a card saying “Dad of the Year.” My dad looked at me quietly and said, “I think I know who sent this.” (check in the first comment👇)
