Her father passed away from cancer. But five years later she receives a parcel from him
Saying goodbye to a loved one is probably the most difficult thing.
Shared reported a touching story of Bailey Sellers who was 16 years old when her father died due to pancreatic cancer.
Michael Sellers battled for six months with cancer but lost. But before he passed away, he became very close to his daughter, Bailey.
She was home-schooled so that she could help her mother out. Her father could not work anymore
As Michael was preparing for the end of his life, he was constantly thinking about his daughter’s future and could not think of being separated from Bailey.
The family learned of his plans a few months after his died. A bouquet of flowers arrived at the Sellers family home on Bailey’s 17th birthday. A note accompanying the flowers read, ‘I loved you first… happy 17th! Love, Dad.’
Bailey’s mother, Kristy, said he had shared the plan with her a month before he died. He had explained that he had purchased a bouquet of flowers for their daughter’s next five birthdays. He had also left a special note with each one.
