17 Years ago, Wesley Ryan’s wife Laura was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In order to help with mounting medical bills, Wesley sold his prized possession; his 1993 Ford Mustang.
Laura’s treatments worked and she is now 13 years cancer free.
The Ryan’s children, now in their 20’s knowing how much the car meant to their dad, recently tracked down his cherished Mustang. When they found the car’s new owner, they bought it back for him.

Wesley’s response was tears. While getting the car back was an amazing surprise, he was more pleased that his kids had grown up to be good people. That he and his wife had raised them right was, he said “the strongest, most powerful feeling that a parent can have.”
In a strange and ironic twist, the woman who sold them the car back, also needed the money to pay off medical bills. Her mother had just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
