Crying at work is not cool man, not cool. It pains me incredibly to think about that mama missing out on all the things her baby girl will do, and it pains me to think about that baby girl growing up without her mama.

I know, what's sadder, leaving your baby when they're 1, losing your parent when you're 1, or losing your spouse when you have a young baby? Just awful. The photos are filled with so much love and hope, though.

And I'm doing my ugly cry.
What a wonderful bond between Daddy and daughter - I can only hope that my DH and our LO will have such a close connection one day.

This is both the sweetest and saddest thing I have seen in awhile. I just had to run and kiss my sleeping baby.

So sad! Before reading the story/captions, I thought that the side-by-sode door photo was the bride with her dad, and then her as a child with her dad (meaning that they had gone 20+ years without the mom).

I usually cry, but I just had a tear and a HUGE smile. It's such a blessing her dad thought to come up with these pictures to remember her mom and the house and their love.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

The pictures made me sad, but the story? The tears, so many tears. What a thoughtful man, and wonderful tribute to his late wife and their love.
"What I want them to know is that this isn’t a story about grief and loss and hurt ... This is a story about love. The pain is nothing compared to the love that I feel for Ali and Olivia ... The pain will subside little by little but the love never will ... I will be able to look at these photos and know that for a short time there was a place where I was the luckiest man in the world, even if just for a little while."

@sorrycharlie: @cmomma17: I too hesitated to click when I saw this on Facebook! Understandable reaction. Uncanny about the names, though!

Sobbing mess over here. I intentionally skipped this thread earlier today but curiosity got the better of me and now I'm a blubbering mess. What a beautiful father he is but what a heartbreaking story.

Well, this just tore me apart
F lung cancer, and all cancers, for that matter.
Beautiful pictures though, and such a moving tribute. Love never dies...
