I Stumbled Upon a Headstone in the Woods and Saw My Childhood Photo on It – I Was Shocked When I Learned the Truth

The next day, the library pointed me to Clara, a woman nearing 90 who’d lived here all her life. When she saw my photo, she knew immediately.

“You had a twin,” she said. “Caleb.”

The fire destroyed the cabin. Three bodies were found. One child was never accounted for.

Tom—my birth father’s brother—never stopped believing one boy survived.

He placed the headstone… hoping.

When I met Tom, he took one look at me and whispered, “You look just like your father.”

A week later, I returned to the clearing and left a card at the stone.

For Caleb.

The brother I never knew—and the reason I finally knew who I was.
