Break out the tissues. A father made sure his love was not forgotten even though he is gone. A young woman's father died of pancreatic cancer when she was 16 years old but arranged for flowers to be delivered to her until she turned 21. Bailey Sellers tweeted this message and the pictures:
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. Well this is my 21st birthday flowers and the last. Miss you so much daddy.
The New York Times picked up the story:
When Bailey Sellers turned 17 on Nov. 26, 2013, there was an unexpected bouquet of flowers waiting for her on the front porch.
“Happy birthday,’’ the note read. “You’ll receive these until you’re 21. Love, Dad.”Her father, Michael Sellers, had died earlier that year from pancreatic cancer at 56. One of his last acts was setting up the recurring flower delivery, making each birthday another opportunity to hear from him anew. Rest of article.
