Woman receives birthday card from her dad, five years after his death
Tennessee-born Bailey Sellers received the most memorable 21st birthday card earlier this week.
Her father, Mike Sellers, sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer back in 2013. But this hasn’t stopped him from celebrating her birthday every year since she was 17.
Before his death, he prepaid a flower shop to deliver a bouquet and birthday card to his daughter every year.
And this time, he sent his last gift on her 21st celebrations.
Inside the card her father wrote: “I am in a better place. You are and will always be the most precious jewel I was given. I will still be with you through every milestone. Just look around and there I will be.”
He added that this marked the last letter he would send ‘until we meet again’.

And thousands of Twitter users took to the social media platform to give their support.
