"My neighbor used to leave his porch light on every night.

Didn’t matter if NEPA took light 6 times. Didn’t matter if he traveled. That bulb stayed on.

We joked about it. Called it “the lighthouse.”

One rainy night around 2AM, I finally asked him why.

He looked at me and said.

“Ten years ago my son ran away after an argument.

He was 17. Angry. Proud.

I told him if he left, not to come back.”

The boy disappeared.

No calls. No texts. Nothing.

“But every night,” the old man said, “I leave the light on in case he forgets the way home.

I know what to say after that.

Three weeks later, I woke up to shouting outside.

Not angry shouting. Crying.

I ran outside and saw a man hugging my neighbor so tightly both of them were shaking.

It was his son.

Now 27.

He said he drove past the house so many times over the years"
