Matthew sent me this tweet that relates a sad tale, telling me it would have people “crying in their beer.” Well, I have no beer, but my Diet Squirt became a little bit saltier when I read the tweet—especially the included letter from Bailey Sellers’s father. Do read it. (Go to the original tweet and click on the card at upper right.)
My dad passed away when I was 16 from cancer and before he died he pre payed flowers so i could receive them every year on my birthday. Well this is my 21st birthday flowers and the last. Miss you so much daddy. 💜 pic.twitter.com/vSafKyB2uO

How to keep your memory alive and personal, well done that man.
Damn, didn’t see that one comin’. Choked me up.
A bit of a choker for Bailey knowing this is the final communication, but a wise cut off point. Great dad!
A very sweet gesture on the father’s part, though I wish his letter didn’t have religious cliches like “until we meet again” and “in a better place.”
I also wonder if a phrase like “stay true to yourself” is meaningless. The self changes with age and experience.
People like those religious cliches and sentiments. I am an atheist myself and would never use them. But if people like them, as do this father and daughter, let them use them.
Agreed. What’s important here is not the carping about religion and God.
Well this old cynic is a lot less so after reading that.wonderful gesture.
