Daughter thinks her dad's T-shirt is 'uncool'... until she realises why it's so special
This story will melt your heart.
Twitter user @922_riaru recently shared a story about her dad that has melted hearts here at MagicMum, a story that proves love never dies.
Taking to her social media page, the daughter wrote how her father has been wearing the same T-shirt for over 20 years, despite it being old and worn.
Explaining how she thought it was "uncool" for years, it wasn't until she found out WHY he treasures it so much that she really understood the importance of it.
"When that polo shirt gets a hole in it, he carefully sews it back together," she told Buzzfeed News. "He wears it for any special occasion, be it a work study event or a trip out with the family."
In a series of photos uploaded to Twitter, the daughter explained how her dad wore the special top on his honeymoon.
And in one of the photos of the young couple in Venice, you can see his wife wearing a similar top in opposite colours.
Sadly, the mum and wife passed away 18 years ago.

After learning the special meaning behind the top, the daughter said that her perspective has changed and she will look after memories too.
"I will never throw away anything important of my parents or grandparents.[sic]"
