An American father has made his daughter's high school graduation even more special by giving her a loving and thoughtful gift that was 13 years in the making.
When Brenna Martin graduated earlier this month her dad Bryan presented her with a copy of the Dr Seuss classic Oh The Places You'll Go .
She accepted the book she had loved as a child and thanked her father who urged her to open the book.
"On the first page I see a short paragraph written by none other than my kindergarten teacher. I start tearing up but I'm still confused," Brenna wrote on imgur.com, where she posted photos of the book.
"He tells me 'every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I've gotten every teacher, coach, and principal to write a little something about you inside this book'."
Brenna was moved to tears and has since posted her story on Reddit along with pictures of the book and her dad.
The idea has inspired other Reddit users who have vowed to do the same for their children.
Mr Martin even joined in in the conversation writing: "I cannot believe Brenna posted this... she has always been the light of my life. Doing this was just a small way of letting her know."
