Not all parents are aware that their time with their children may be limited, but one father was, and he opted to leave something unique for his beloved daughter, which she got 15 years after his death.

Todd Excell was devastated when he received his cancer diagnosis. He didn’t want his daughter to grow up without him because she was only a child. His illness worsened, and he died in 2001, while his daughter Emily was just eight years old.

In the years after his death, the young girl from Liverpool, New York, had to be brave. She navigated her adolescent and young adult years without him, which was difficult because he was her hero.

Excell had an idea during his final months on earth that would one day mean the world to his daughter. The father wanted to write Emily a letter for each key event in her life.

However, because he was short on time, he wrote a few words for one of the most important days of her life: her wedding day. He painstakingly planned each word in his loving letter to his adored child.

The father thought it would be something his daughter would treasure for a lifetime, so he put the letter in the freezer and waited for the proper moment.

Emily married Shakeal Darbey, the man of her dreams, in 2016. The day was full of love and happiness, but the woman missed her father terribly. He had something special prepared for her, she had no idea.

She was overcome with emotion as her godfather and uncle, Peter, revealed the letter. Emily clasped her husband’s hand and wiped away tears as Peter read her father’s remarks written 15 years ago in a heartbreaking video.

Emily received counsel from the letter, which also served as a lovely reminder that her father was still looking out for her. Excell stated his affection for her and his desire to be present at her wedding.

The father wrote in the letter:

“You Are My Heart And Soul And Always Will Be. I’m Writing This Letter For Your Wedding Day To Tell You How I Will Not Be There In Body But I Will Be There In Spirit.”

ADVICE FROM THE FATHER TO THE COUPLE

Excell offered some advice for the wedded pair, telling them to love one other even when they had disagreements or encountered difficulties.

He explained:

“Always To Say ‘I Love You’ To Each Other … It’s Just The Other Feelings That Get In The Way. Love Will Hold The Marriage Together.”

FOR HER NEW HUSBAND MESSAGE

Shakeal received a message from his adoring father. He wanted his daughter’s husband to know that he was with them and that he adored them. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

He also left a humorous note for the groom. He said:

“To The New Husband. I Will Not Be Able To Intimidate You Or Ask You A Million Questions Before You Date My Daughter … But What I Can Do — Is Haunt You.”

The bride smiled as the audience laughed at the bride’s statements. Excell had one more request for Shakeal: he wanted the groom to take care of his daughter and treat her like the princess and queen she was.

Emily and her husband fought back tears throughout the reading of the letter. The bride was taken aback by the enormous surprise and giddy with delight.

While she hoped her father could have been there with them, she was glad for the letter, and his words meant the world to her.

Guests could be heard replying to Excell’s statements in the video, and they were genuinely moved. One year after their wedding, the couple rewatched the video and were overjoyed to have the memories.

Suzanne Excell, Emily’s mother, said:

“Emily Cried At The End With The Pictures But Was So Happy For The Memory She Would Keep. Shakeal Laughed Again At The Point Of Being Haunted And Said He Is On His Best Behavior.”

Your commenter, who lost their father when they were ten years old, expressed empathy with Emily. “This is lovely,” they exclaimed. But it’s a pity. I understand how it feels to not have your father present on your wedding day.”

THE PUREST LOVE IS THAT OF A FATHER.

Emily received a personal note from one of the users. They stated:

“I Wish You Nothing But Happiness And Joy For The Rest Of Your Life. You Deserve Everything After All You’ve Been Dealt. May God Bless You And Your Family.”

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.
