47 Years After, This Man Opened the Gift He Received From His High School Sweetheart in 1970

Like most teens in love, Adrian Pearce and Vicki Allen thought they were made for each other. Unfortunately, life pulled them in separate directions in the 1970s and they never heard from each other again.

But decades later, Adrian’s obsession with an unopened Christmas Gift his ex girlfriend had given him sent him on a journey to find her that was pretty close to a real-life fairy tale.

They Were High School Sweethearts

In 1970, 17-year-old Adrian Pearce befriended fellow 15-year-old high school student Vicki Allen. The two of them went to George S. Henry Secondary School in Toronto, Canada. So they often saw each other in the halls and hung out outside of class.

Eventually, they realized there was more there than friendship, so they started going out.

They Were Madly in Love

Pierce and Allen were two crazy teenagers in love. And like most high school kids their age, they went to school dances, held hands in the halls and did things that made their mothers blush. But something went wrong in their relationship.

Everything Seemed Fine At First

The high school sweethearts had the same wicked sense of humor. They were even looking forward to spending Christmas together.

But as the holiday season approached, Pierce felt something was changing, but he didn’t want this feeling to ruin Christmas, so he ignored it so he could enjoy the festivities with Allen.

She Had a Special Gift in Her Hand

Pierce and Allen were both looking for the right gift that would say “I love you.” Then one day, he saw her approaching and ran up to hug her. That’s when he noticed she had a tiny gift wrapped in blue paper with her.

At the time, he had no idea that this gift would have such major repercussions in his life. But first he had to deal with the bombshell she was about to throw his way.
