This dad’s way of cheering up daughter post breakup will melt your heart

“On most days, I am convinced my dad is the real life Superman.”

Moving on after heartbreak is hard – but having a dad who is the “real life Superman” can make it a little bit easier.

One dad has gone viral after his daughter shared the story of her first heartbreak seven years ago on Love What Matters – and revealed how her dad helped pick her back up.

The anonymous woman’s post began:

“On most days, I am convinced my dad is the real life Superman.

“His love is the kind that can move mountains and sets a high standard for future boyfriends.

“He’s always been a hero to me.”

But when she was 20, she explained, “a guy broke my heart into a million pieces on Thanksgiving Day.”

She added:

“My dad physically caught me as I crumbled to the floor, sobbing so hard I saw spots.
“Looking back, I know his heart was breaking too.”
The woman went on to recall how she told her dad she was used to getting a ‘good morning’ text from the guy who broke her heart.
And that was when her dad decided to step in.
The woman’s post continued:

“From that day forward, he sent me a ‘good morning’ text.

“His texts include inspirational quotes, heartfelt messages of encouragement and reminders of how much he loves me.

“That was 7 years ago. He never stopped.

“I have moved on, moved away and found an amazing man but my Superman came to my rescue.

“He still texts me (almost) every day.”

The woman went on to thank her dad for the support – and for “never letting us forget how special we are.”
She added:

“He is an example of selflessness, hard work and not taking yourself too seriously.

“His love is unconditional. He never fails to say ‘I love you.’

“He will tell you every morning, every night and twice on Sunday.

“But if you watch closely you can see it in action.

“I have watched him fiercely love my mother for over 30 years; he still brings her flowers, pulls her in for a slow dance in the kitchen and writes her love notes.

“When a man like that sits at the center of your universe, it makes you feel as though anything is possible.

“That kind of confidence in a little girl is unmatched. That little girl can be fearless.”
