After 13 Years Of Preparations, This Dad Finally Gives His Daughter The Most Heartwarming Graduation Gift

Ever since his daughter started kindergarten, Bryan Martin knew exactly what kind of gift he is going to give her after she graduates high school. For the last 13 years, he was collecting handwritten notes about his daughter, Brenna, from all of her teachers inside the book she loves. This special gift brought tears to her eyes and later warmed thousands of hearts on the internet. The photos of the book she shared were viewed by millions with many parents getting an excellent idea what to give to their own kids once they graduate.

    My niece has been doing this for her daughter... only 5 years to go! I can hardly wait to be witness to this wonderful plan in the making. This is an inspirational gift that lasts a lifetime.

    That's sweet. In my case, there would have been "wait, who again?" written on every single page. :'(

    Such a great idea. An amazing and very touching gift. And to keep it up (and to also manage to keep it a secret from her) for 13 years...wow

    I have the same book for my adopted daughters. Started the day we had their 'welcome party'. My ex husbands aunt gave us the book with a sweet note, so I have had many people write in it over the years. Now, my trouble will be which to gift it to later in life.

    Some kids these days would sell that. I would find a desk and slam my head on it if that happened. That is very sweet, very cool, very thoughtful.
