Steve Mershon made an unexpectedly poignant discovery on the beach last week.
The 54-year-old Indialantic, Florida man was enjoying a lovely morning near his seaside home when he discovered the seaside treasure of all seaside treasures — a message in a bottle.

"You were my best friend," it continues, "and our favorite song was [Disney Channel star] Austin Moon and I hope you fun [sic] with Jesus."
Mershon was so moved by the note that he posted a response to Jonathon on Facebook. "Jonathan, your bottle, with your letter to your best friend, is the most beautiful thing I have ever found," he wrote.
