A woman's tribute to her late dad

has brought the internet to tears after she revealed the sweet thing he planned for her 21st birthday before he passed away.

Bailey Sellers, from Tennessee in the US, lost her father when she was only 16-years-old.

Bailey's dad passed away after suffering from cancer, but he left his daughter a few very special surprises.

Before he died, the man who's now considered one of the best dads in history by people on social media ordered flowers for Bailey's birthday every year until she turned 21.

Not only did he pre-pay the company to make sure she got a special gift from him after he was gone, he also wrote a card to go with each delivery.

The birthday girl took to Twitter to share her dad's last letter, and the internet reacted with a lot of emotion.
