Man Discovers He Has A 61-Year-Old Son After Finding Letter His Wife Had Hidden For 55 Years

In a shocking development, a man by name Tony Trapani discovered he had a 61-year-old son he had never met after he found a letter his wife had hidden in a drawer for 55 years. The letter had been sent to Trapani, 81, by an ex-lover in 1959, but his wife, who could not have children, had hidden it.

Trapani found it while cleaning out a filing cabinet after his wife’s death – and immediately tracked down his son, 61-year-old Samuel Childress. Childress said that he had always believed his father
wanted nothing to do with him.

The letter said, ‘I have a little boy. He is five years old now. What I’m trying to say, Tony, is he is your son. He was born November 13th, 1953.’

Trapani told Fox17:

 ‘Why my wife didn’t tell me, I don’t know.She wanted children. She couldn’t have any. She tried and tried.’ ‘He’s my son that I’ve had my whole life, but why my wife hid that letter is beyond me.’
