A Stranger Bought My Father-in-law's Birthday Cake To Remember Her Daughter

By a friend • February 27, 2025

My father in law came from New Jersey to visit us in Missouri as each of my daughters were competing in their sports this weekend… it just happened to be his 70th birthday so we got him a birthday cake from the local grocery store.

I went to pick it up and the girl working said someone had paid for the cake and they left a note. I asked for a name of either her or her daughter but she didn’t leave one.

The note reads: My daughters 35 today. She's in Heaven. When you blow out the candles, make a wish for her.

This really touched me and my family! Happy 35th Heavenly Birthday Young Lady!
