When Joseph, Kyle, Sam, and Harry graduated high school, they made a pact to meet again at their hometown beach exactly 40 years later, no matter where life took them. Over the years, they lost touch as Joseph moved to Europe, Sam to Canada, Harry to Mexico, and Kyle stayed in California. On the long-awaited day, Kyle, Harry, and Sam arrived full of excitement—but Joseph was nowhere to be found.
While waiting, Harry spotted a note hidden under a bench. It was from Joseph, explaining that life had taken a difficult turn after his parents’ passing. He had been working as a janitor, struggling to make ends meet, and couldn’t afford a ticket to California. He left his address in Spain, expressing his wish to see them again someday.
The three friends immediately decided to change their plans and fly to Spain. When they found Joseph, he was shocked and moved to tears. Learning of his hardships, Harry invited him to move to Mexico for a fresh start. At first hesitant, Joseph agreed, encouraged by the shared language and the chance for a better life.
Before leaving Spain, the group spent a few joyful days sightseeing and enjoying each other’s company. They promised never to lose touch again and planned annual reunions in each other’s countries—a reminder that true friendship endures, no matter the years or distance.
