When his wife, Laura, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 17 years ago, Wesley Ryan sold his cherished white 1993 Ford Mustang GT to help pay for her medical bills. .

His son, Jake, said that selling the car was “one of the biggest sacrifices I’ve seen him have to make for us, for all of us. I know how much it broke him in half seeing that car drive away from him. A day I’ll never forget.” .

With so many years passed, Wesley, 47, had no idea what was about to happen when his wife and kids blindfolded him in a department store parking lot earlier this month, then broke down in tears when they revealed the Mustang on the back of a flatbed truck. .

The touching moment was captured on video with the Zac Brown Band song “My Old Man” playing in the background, and posted to Jake’s Facebook page. .

Jake told the San Antonio Express-News that he came across the car while perusing Craigslist a couple of years ago, but couldn’t close a deal. When it popped up again recently, he, his sister, Jeni and her boyfriend all chipped in to buy it. .

In a sad twist of fate, the seller was letting it go because her own mother had contracted ovarian cancer and they needed the money for treatment. .

Wesley told the Express-News that what his children did for him "shows where they are: they are balanced human beings. .

My wife and I have succeeded, we've raised productive adults, it's the strongest, most powerful feeling that a parent can have."

Good, I thought it happen in my precious country

Very touching and inspiring! This should tell everyone, when husband and wife are showing hatred to each other, the children are watching and learning, if it's love, they are watching and learning. The end will justify! Let love leads!!

Cheap clean s6 edge. Check my signature.

Ehya
I hope the ovarian cancer won't come back.
Maybe the car is jinxed

Mama

Good for them.

Still here searching for a glimmer of hope for PDP in the next election tho.

Another angle

The first seller's wife had ovarian cancer

The now seller's mother has ovarian cancer

Is it just coincidence or that the car is correlated with ovarian cancer?

typical Naija comment

well brought up kids,not the type of kids in my area

What a great feeling!

Unlike some kids that would see their parents sacrifice as a norm, something not to be cherished and appreciated.

Doing good makes you feel good

Is the car infected with the spirits of ovarian cancer?
