'Worthless' paperweight found carrying priceless hidden contents
(Web Desk) - Jessica Roberts from Wellington, New Zealand recently got a big shock when she realised the paperweight she’d had for five years wasn’t actually a paperweight.
She explained that her son initially found the heart-shaped item at a yard sale and asked if they could buy it, she agreed because it was $1.
She’s since had it in her home, but after stumbling across a similar item for sale on Amazon, she realised that it wasn’t what she thought it was.
Instead of a paperweight, it was actually an urn she had and after looking inside she realised it was full of someone’s ashes.
Jessica later updated her post to say she looked inside and found the ashes, so she shared a photo of the urn in hopes that she could find whoever it belonged to.
After her local paper ran a story about it, she was contacted by a man, who said the urn was his wife’s and the ashes were her late father’s.
The urn had been lost years ago when the woman left an abusive partner who had kept all her belongings out of spite.
Jessica has since met with the man to return the urn, who she says plans to surprise his wife Christmas morning and her father’s remains can finally rest where they belong—with her.
