A woman has received a heartbreaking letter from her dead father on her 21st birthday.

Her dad also pre-paid to have flowers delivered to her every year too.

Bailey Sellers was 16-years-old when her dad passed away from cancer.

However, before he did, he made sure that on each one of her birthdays, his daughter would receive a bouquet of flowers.

Last week on her 21st birthday, Bailey received what was to be her last bunch of flowers as well as a very emotive letter from her late father.

She took to Twitter to share some photos of her gift and an old photo of herself and her father.

The letter read:

“Bailey,

“This is my last love letter to you until we meet again.

“I do not want you to shed another tear for me my baby girl for I am in a better place. You are and will always be the most precious jewel I was given.

“It is your 21st birthday and I want you to always respect your momma and stay true to yourself.

“Be happy and live life to the fullest. I will still be with you through every milestone, just look around and there I will be.

“I love you boo boo and happy birthday.”

Bailey’s tweet has since been shared over 350,000 times and liked by almost 1.4 million people.

The 21-year-old then went on to say that as this is the last gift she will receive from her father, it makes the letter even more heartbreaking.

On Twitter, she wrote:

“Every year I looked forward to my birthday because I felt like he was still here with me but this is the last year I get them so it’s so heartbreaking.”
