Bailey Seller lost her father to cancer when she was 16-years-old, but through pre-paid flowers for every birthday since his passing, the memory of her father is kept alive. She is now 21 and just received her final bouquet of flowers along with a heartfelt message from her beloved father.
She posted a photo of her beautiful flowers and captioned it, saying, "My dad passed away when I was 16 from cancer and before he died he [sic] 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."
"Baily, this is my last love letter to you until we meet again," read the birthday card. "I do not want you to shed another tear for me my Baby girl for I am in a better place."
Baily also shared a photo of her father and herself when she was a little girl.
His final message to her included a reminder and some posthumous words of advice, just as if he were still with her.
That was probably the hardest thing I have ever read. 💔— Bailey Sellers (@Bailey Sellers) 1511552478.0

@SellersBailey @thesn0wmexican I thinks it's fair for you to buy, in his stead, flowers for yourself every birthday henceforth.💐🌹🌷🌸🏵️💐🌹🌼🌻— Tree Hugger 📎🖖 (@Tree Hugger 📎🖖) 1511577168.0
