When Bailey Seller was 16, her father passed away. Before his battle with cancer ended, her father pre-paid for multiple years worth of flowers. His goal was to have them be sent to her every year on her birthday until she was 21-years-old. Her Dad knew he could not be there physically to celebrate with her but still wanted her to know that he was watching over her.

Bailey posted a photo of her final birthday bouquet on Twitter. The woman, who currently lives in Tennessee, wrote “My dad passed away when I was 16 from cancer and before he died he pre payed flowers so I could receive them every year on my birthday.

The photo shows off a stunning purple floral arrangement as well as the card he wrote for her. Her final card read:
“Bailey, This is my last love letter to you until we meet again. I do not want you to shed another tear for me my Baby girl for I am in a better place. You are and will always be the most precious jewel I was given. It is your 21st birthday and I want you to always respect your momma and stay true to yourself. Be happy and live life to the fullest. I will still be with you through every milestone, just look around and there I will be. I love you Boo Boo and Happy Birthday!!! Daddy”
