“You know,Jack,after your father died, Mr.Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.
“He’s the one who taught me carpentry, I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him.He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom,I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.
Busy as he was, he kept his word.Jack caught the next flight to his hometown.Mr.Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful.He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered.Every step held memories.Every picture, every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.
“The box is gone,”he said.
“What box?”Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk.I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside.All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’ ”,Jack said.
It was gone.Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box.He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him.”Jack said sadly.
