This dad's act of love touched many hearts on the internet and is also a testament to how much he cares for his daughter.
Dads often go to great lengths to make their children smile, showcasing their thoughtfulness. One such dad sent a very special gift for his daughter, who had jaw surgery. A box of chocolates and flowers, beloved gifts for many, were his choice. u/seriphae shared a picture of her holding a box of chocolates in one hand and a beautiful bouquet in the other. Despite the black band strapped from her head to her chin, she couldn’t help but smile at her father’s gesture.
The picture is captioned, "When you're lucky enough to have an amazing dad that sends your favorite chocolate strawberries after surgery, you do not remind him that it was jaw surgery and you can't eat for days." However, she shared that she did send him a smiling picture to thank him and wants to freeze the chocolates to enjoy it once she completely recovers. Acts of love like these strengthen relationships, demonstrating deep care and affection.
Reddit users praised the dad's amazing, albeit slightly misguided, gift-giving effort. "That's incredibly thoughtful of both of you. Your dad clearly wanted to spoil you a bit after your surgery by sending you such beautiful gifts. You saw that he got you your favorite treat but lovingly spared his feelings. Y'all sound like a wonderful family! Hope your recovery is a simple and speedy one," commented u/gimmiegummies. u/trekuwplan quipped, "My dad would send them because I won't be able to eat them and then eat them himself in front of me."
u/Rafa_Nadalxx wrote, "What a caring dad you have, absolutely amazing. Hope you have a simple recovery." u/fluffydiscipline said, "Awww that's really precious and something to look forward to." u/ghOstkhz expressed, "Omg, Dad's are so off-targetly wholesome. I could see my dad doing something like this haha." u/Writing_On_Top shared, "Such a dad thing to do: Got you something out of love, but not quite the most appropriate thing - it's the thought and gesture that counts." It underscores the enduring bond between a father and daughter, a connection cherished for a lifetime.
Another dad did a similar heartwarming thing for his daughter. Brooke Percival (@brookepercival), a mom, shared the conversation her husband and daughter had. In the video, the dad in his work clothes can be seen entering the house with a bouquet and a stuffed toy. As he hands the toy to his daughter, she starts to cry. Then she stands up and gives his dad a tight hug. Her father comforts her by giving her pats on the back. People on the internet were also emotional after watching the video. @lettyjo9513 commented, "I remember my daddy bringing me Valentine's Day gifts to school. It's the little things. I'll always be a daddy's girl." @lilswool wrote, "Teaching what real love is. Love is between all and all need to show it to work. This little girl will learn to respect a good man and cherish him."
