'These Are From Dad': Before He Died, He Asked His Daughter To Do This For Her Mom Every Year

February 26, 2026

Ari Davis recently shared a video that has captured hearts around the world.

Her father passed away three months ago after a battle with brain cancer. But even in his final days, he had one last request: that Ari continue the tradition of sending her mother the same Valentine’s gift he had given her for years.

In the video, Ari walks into her mother’s home carrying a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. She smiles and softly says, “These are from Dad.”
