In her slideshow, the grieving woman recalled many of the specific ways that her dad was there for her during good times and bad. For example, on one occasion, Whitney had come to her father with a personal problem. He not only offered his support, but he also came up with a hilariously creative solution!

“When I went through my first heartbreak my dad took me on a boat to the middle of nowhere and told me to scream it out,” the young woman said in her post. “We both stood there screaming until the screams turned to laughter. I felt so understood.”

Another time, Whitney was feeling down because her sisters had both won something at the carnival, while she’d walked away with nothing. Dad had the best response! He bought her a stuffed animal at the store, then pretended that the little girl had won it herself. This man wanted his daughter to know that she “was always a winner in his eyes.” Isn’t that sweet?

After reading this grieving woman’s social media post about her late dad, some commenters felt like they knew him. Everyone agreed that he sounded like an incredible father!

It must have been heart-wrenching for Whitney to lose her father, especially when they had such a close relationship. However, we know that this man will live on in his daughter’s wonderful memories.
