Mysterious old letter washes up on beach, but when they pop the cork to read inside… SO touching!

It was just another day on the beach for Steve Mershon as he combed through the sand looking for goodies.

Then he came across a glass bottle stuffed with, you guessed it, a small message. But the letter was not one of romance, it was from a 5th grade boy in mourning for his friend.

Jonothan Torres’ best friend, Daniel, had passed away and he needed a way to say goodbye. Inside the bottle was his short and heart-wrenching note to Daniel expressing how much he missed him in his life:
