Woman Gets Final Birthday Flowers From Her Father, Years After His Death

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.
Since that day, she had dreaded her 21st birthday, when she knew she’d hear from her father for the last time, she said in a phone interview on Monday. His final delivery came to her home in Johnson City, Tenn., on Friday, and her photo of her father’s note struck an emotional chord on social media, where it was shared hundreds of thousands of times.

Sounds like an awesome dad! I'm sure she misses him, but what a great, awesome and thoughtful thing he did for her.

It's a little dusty in this room.
Awesome dad and probably a great friend.
