THE HEARTBREAKING POST

Morgan Lynn, who goes by @shorrttstack on Twitter, didn't want to face her emotions alone, so she shared her family's story online. The teenager revealed that her mom and dad's divorce had just been finalized, and it was a tough time for her.

Lynn's parents were married for 19 years, but sadly they didn't make it to the two-decade mark. She shared:

"My parents after 19 years of being married, were going through a divorce & it got finalized today, & my dad sent my mom her favorite flowers."

HE ALWAYS SENT HER FLOWERS

Lynn's dad showed that he still loved his ex-wife despite going separate ways. He sent her beautiful flowers, and the poster revealed why it was such a heartbreaking gesture.

She stated that throughout their marriage, her father always sent her mom a bouquet to cheer her up after a tough day. Lynn said:

"He used to send her flowers when she was having a bad day and to know that even after today he still did—it breaks my heart."

Lynn explained:

"My mom said 'I cried when I saw the flowers. I knew that he had been in court that morning to finalize everything and to know he was able to do something to try and make my day better was bittersweet.'"

THE MEANING BEHIND THE CARD

Lynn's dad attached a card with the bouquet, which had a hidden meaning. The heart-wrenching note only consisted of a few simple words, but it spoke volumes to Lynn and her mother.

The card read: "Always gonna be you," and Lynn expressed:

"I have never cried so hard over 4 simple words."

Her parents' wedding song was "You Had Me From Hello" by Kenny Chesney, and when Lynn's dad heard "Always Gonna Be You," also by Chesney, he declared it their "finale song."
