Wesley Ryan loved his white 1993 Mustang GT - but he loved his wife even more, so 17 years ago (after finding out his wife Laura had ovarian cancer) he sold his beloved car to help pay medical bills.

Flash forward to now - his son Jake (who still remembers driving around in it - sitting in the booster seat next to his sister) was looking at cars on Craigslist when he spotted this car that looked just like Dads Mustang. Guess what? It was. Now it took Jake two years to close the deal (didn't have enough to buy it the first time)...but he bought it and along with his sister AND mom Laura, who's cancer free for 13 years, surprised Dad with the car. These folks raised some amazing kids. Watch the video...and cut onions (cause you're going to get choked up):

(note: the reason the person was selling the car in the first place on Craigslist was because HER mom had come down with ovarian cancer. Thoughts and prayers)
