Old Dad Goes to Visit Daughter for His 80th Birthday, She Doesn’t Even Let Him Into Her House – Story of the Day

Richard, eager to celebrate his 80th birthday, surprises his daughter Deidre in Minnesota. Their reunion sours when Deidre, in tears, turns him away. Concerned, Richard peeks through her window and discovers her in distress, confronted by two menacing men over a delinquent loan.

Learning Deidre owes $80,000 to a gangster named Mr. Marco, Richard offers his $20,000 savings and agrees to smuggle a car across the Canadian border to settle the debt. At the border, a police dog’s reaction alerts Richard to hidden contraband, prompting a frantic escape that ends with the car sinking in a river.

Desperate, Richard mortgages his house to raise the funds. He confronts Mr. Marco with the money, but the gangster, enraged about the lost shipment, threatens them. A timely police raid saves Richard and Deidre. Later, Deidre apologizes for hiding her struggles, and they vow to rebuild their trust.
