Matt Goldman’s father died of cancer in 2014. Before his passing, Matt’s dad handed his mom and sister a $10 bill instructing them to hand with the instruction’s that it would be Matt’s ‘beer money’ when he turned 21.
Recently Matt turned 21 and he received the money to buy his first legal beer. According to Matt:
“She [his sister Casey] kind of explained the backstory and everything, and then it turned into a pretty emotional moment, and [I] started crying”
Casey told CBS Boston:
“It’s just something so typical that my dad would have done. To buy his first beer. Him and my dad were so close and he’s had such a hard time anytime that a monumental moment comes up in his life that my dad’s not there.”
Matt posted about the money on Twitter and the story went viral.
