Jason’s weekend secret
Jason finally opened up, admitting, “I’ve been working as a mechanic on weekends.” He explained how he’d kept it a secret, knowing we wouldn’t approve. All this time, while we thought he was simply hanging out with friends, he was actually earning money and building skills for the future he truly envisioned. The car, as it turned out, was meant to be his nest egg—a foundation for the life he dreamed of creating.

It was then that we truly saw the talent and determination he possessed. Our son had been working tirelessly, and we had completely failed to recognize it.
