When a mysterious package from Josh’s estranged father arrived, he found a ticking box inside a beautiful pillow. Josh was torn between forgiving his father or maintaining their estranged relationship.
Josh and his wife, Kate, were celebrating their third wedding anniversary when the package arrived. “I have a package for you,” said the delivery man. Assuming it was a gift from Josh, Kate opened it and found an embroidered pillow with a note: “Happy Anniversary, Josh and Kate! – Taylor.”
Josh’s father, Taylor, had abandoned him as a child to start a new life with another woman. Josh never forgave him, saying, “A father is supposed to choose you, Kate.”
When Josh heard the pillow ticking, he threw it outside, fearing something sinister. He cut the pillow open and found a small box with a timer. “Let’s find out,” Josh said. Inside was a check for $100,000.
Josh called Taylor, who revealed, “Because I’m dying, Kate…that money is for you guys. And if Josh doesn’t want it, then keep it for Emily’s future.”
Finally, Josh agreed to meet his father, who apologized: “I want to spend my remaining time making amends.” Josh responded, “It’s not easy, Dad. But I’m willing to try. For Emily’s sake.”
As they left the park, Josh felt a weight lifted, saying, “Maybe it’s good that pillow showed up, after all.”
