The story of Chastity and Brad resembles one of those films that make us say: "Oh well, but in reality it can't happen". As always, truth surpasses imagination. The one of Chastity Patterson, now 23 years old from Newport, Arkansas, begins 4 years ago when Jason, the man who had become his point of reference so much to call him 'dad' despite having a biological father, dies. A mourning with which the girl – who told her story on Facebook – has been forced to live together and has carried within herself for years.Fast forward. Four years later, the anniversary of Jason's death. In these four years Chastity has continued to write messages to Jason's number. Simple updates, or "hello" every now and then. Then, on the fourth anniversary of his death, Chastity sends a long message to that number.
"Hi dad, it's me. Tomorrow will be a difficult day, again. It's been four years since I lost you and there's no day I miss you." A long message in which he tells of having defeated cancer, of having graduated, of falling in love and having had disappointments in love, of having lost all his friends but of having found love. He tells him that he is about to marry and that he is afraid to face entry into the church "because you will not tell me that everything will be fine". But above all that "you would be proud of the woman I have become". A closing message, explained Chastity, because "I had found myself and I was ready to let it go".A story that could end here, but being a film story, there had to be a twist. An answer comes from Jason's number. Beep beep. "Hi sweetie, I am not your father but for all these 4 years I received your morning messages and updates of the night". Then he introduces himself: "I'm Brad, and in 2014 I lost my daughter in a car accident. Your messages helped me feel alive. When you write to me, I know it's a message I receive from God". The case meant that Brad was assigned Jason's phone number.

A message full of pride for a girl never known but who for years accompanied him: "I have heard you in these years and I have seen you grow and endure things that many others would not have held up. I always wanted to answer you, but I didn't done to not break your heart ".

And again: "You are an extraordinary woman and I hope that my daughter would become the woman you are. You are my little angel and I knew that this day you would greet me would come. Everything will be fine, I am proud of you".

The story of Chastity and Jason has made the rounds of the network and social media, making thousands of people move. Chastity made a further post in which he explained how his relationship with Jason was born and why he called him dad. And it disappoints the many people who wrote to him: "I'm sorry, but no, Brad won't accompany me to the altar", also because his biological father Chastity has it. But this does not make the story seem less like a movie. Or maybe a fairy tale.
