Ace Frehley Found His Late Father's Hidden Letter 20 Years Later — What It Said Made Him CRY

April 2004. Ace Frehley was visiting his mother on what would have been his father's 85th birthday. They were looking through old photo albums when his mother said something that stopped him cold: "Your father wrote you a letter before he died. I've had it for twenty years."

Carl Frehley had passed away in 1984, twenty years earlier. But before he died, he'd written a letter to his son and made his wife Esther promise something crucial: "Don't give this to Paul right away. Wait until he's struggling. Wait until he's questioning everything. Because that's when he'll need to hear this."

Esther had kept that promise. Through Ace's fame, through his struggles with addiction, through his departure from KISS, through two decades of ups and downs, she'd held onto that letter. Waiting. Until the moment when Ace was finally ready to hear what his father needed to tell him.

The letter was only two pages. But what Carl Frehley wrote changed how Ace understood everything—about his father, about himself, and about the dream they'd both shared.
