Loving Daughter Gave Her Dad His First Touchscreen Phone
A loving daughter goes viral and touched many hearts online after giving her dad his first touchscreen phone.
Recently, The__Bolter, a Reddit user, shared a heartwarming story of a daughter gifting her 57-year-old father his first touchscreen phone. The post garnered varius reactions from the online community.
In her post, the lady netizen shared how she had saved up to buy her dad a new phone—not an expensive one, but something meaningful because it came from her hard-earned money.
Her dad, who works hard as a carpenter, plumber, mason, and electrician, was completely new to modern technology. He set the phone’s font and icons to the largest size and kept the brightness at 95%.
The woman found his gallery full of funny selfies, mostly featuring his forehead. A wedding picture of him and her late mom, along with the frame still in the shot was her dad’s wallpaper.
The daughter also discovered him in the kitchen, wearing his reading glasses and carefully copying an inspiring quote from Facebook into a logbook. She giggled, imagining how he would later use it as his Facebook status.
The lady netizen promised to teach him how to copy and paste texts and even take screenshots. She shared how this simple act of giving back filled her heart with love, especially since she wasn’t able to give her mom a similar gift before she passed away.
The loving daughter expressed her commitment to spoiling her dad for as long as he lives.
Here is the full post:
“Ma, may touchscreen phone na si Papa
I bought my dad a new phone yesterday. It’s not too costly, but at least I gave him something from my hard-earned money. At the age of 57, this is his first time owning a touchscreen.
Pero hindi ako diyan natutuwa. I am entertained because of the way he uses his phone. Sobrang laki ng font and icon sa phone niya. Brightness is at 95%. Ang daming tabs na nakaopen. I checked his gallery and ang selfies niya ay puro noo ang kuha. Wallpaper niya is wedding picture nila ni Mama tapos kasama ang picture frame.
Nasa kusina siya while I’m writing this post. He’s wearing his reading glasses and he’s writing something. Sumilip ako and he’s copying an inspiring quote from Facebook sa log book niya. Surely, gagawin niyang status sa FB mamaya. This man, who does all kinds of work, whether it’s carpentry, plumbing, masonry, electrical, or electronic works, does not know how to copy/paste a text. Sobrang nakakaaliw.
I’ll teach him paano mag-copy/paste and how to take a screenshot later. For now, let me just giggle like an idiot and admire his innocence.
Sobrang full of love ang heart ko today. Sit back, Papa, now it’s my turn to take care of you. Mama, sorry hindi mo na naabutan na mabilhan din kita ng new phone. Promise ko iispoil ko si Papa habang buhay pa siya. I hope proud ka sa akin up there. Rest well. :”)”
