Dad With Terminal Cancer Pre-Paid For Flowers To Be Sent To His Daughter For Her Next 5 Birthdays, And She Just Received The Final Bouquet

ADVERTISEMENT

Bailey Sellers was just 16 years old when her Father, Michael William Sellers, passed away from cancer at age 56. Before he died, he pre-paid for bouquets to be delivered to his daughter each year for her birthday until she turned 21.

Bailey’s father wrote out her 21st birthday card with comforting words and encouragement as he looked ahead to the day she would reach adulthood, after his death. Just a few days ago, Bailey turned 21, and she posted on Twitter about the final birthday bouquet from her father.

After over a million likes to her post on Twitter, Bailey sent out the message: “I’m so thankful my dad’s thoughtfulness brought so many people happiness.”

    Your father know the significance of what his loss would be to you. His generosity of spirit & his unbending love will always be by your side. You can immortalize the last gift of flowers with silica gel.
