"My greatest gift in life is you being my dad. Our goal was for you to adopt me before I turned 18, but it was too late," Giselle wrote.

"Here I am with your gift, I changed my last name for you," she added. "I love you forever, happy birthday."

The teen concluded that she's "legally Giselle Marie Santoyo."

The video then shows her stepfather placing his head in his hands as tears spilled down.

Giselle's Twitter friends were so touched by her sweet gesture.

One user commented, "Truly amazing and lovely." Another added, "Thanks for showing us what love is."

Another heartwarming moment was when a father, who had been colorblind his whole life, received a birthday gift from his children.

The kids wanted him to see the world the way normal people do, so on his 66th birthday, they decided to surprise him with a pair of EnChroma glasses.

These special type of glasses allows colorblind people to see the world in colors the same way normal people do.

The father was unable to hold back his tears the first time he put the glasses on.

Indeed, the best gifts are those given out of pure love.
