idk you but seeing this made me tear up, I’m so sorry for your loss, this is both sad and heartwarming that he did that for you
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.

I know. Every year I looked forward to my birthday because I felt like he was still here with me but this is the last year I get them so it's so heart breaking.
-
Makes sense Bailey but I hope you can also see the message he likely intended by stopping them. He believes in you. He believes that you are capable of wondrous things. He believes YOU are ready to be without the flowers even if you don't know it yet.

Yes
@DrCherylllP Maybe the best gift of all is the one that doesn't come next year. Maybe the best gift any parent can give their child is confidence they are strong enough to fly solo and figure things out on their own. Yet always there, at least in spirit. -
Are you equally surprised at the response we've received from our exchange?
-
Yes, Cheryl. They keep coming. I knew the original tweet was trending but I just happen to check Twitter before bed. Glad I did. You never know. Thanks again for your insight and video link. It really helps!
-
Thank you as well. I'm pleasantly surprised to still find people moved by things that I personally feel are at the heart of what matters most.

Thank you Hunter!

Those we love leave gaping holes in our hearts when gone. But your Dad will never truly be gone as long as his kind spirit & precious memory lives in you. I have film, undeveloped for 10+ yrs because it contains pix with my Dad. He could be doing anything--until they are printed.
