Daughter Surprises Dad After 30 Years With Gift of Prized Football Card

A daughter in Mississippi has surprised her father with a very meaningful Secret Santa gift this year, restoring to him a prized possession, and fulfilling a promise she made to herself as a small child. Lindsey Moore said she remembered her father had to sell his rookie Dan Marino card for extra cash when she was seven years old. As an adult over 30 years later, she fulfilled the promise she made to herself as a child: to buy the card back. In footage Lindsey Moore posted on https://www.tiktok.com/@lindseyswagmom/video/7304490628354805035 TikTok , her mother reads aloud the card she wrote to her father, before he gets visibly emotional as he unwraps the gift. "Money was tight, so you were selling your most prized possession & at least what I viewed it as. I felt your sacrifice and it taught me that I would do whatever necessary to ensure my future family never needed for anything. It was a lesson that has stuck with me since that moment and taught me the value of the greater good," Moore wrote in the card. "I will never be able to fully repay that debt. Seven-year-old me would be so elated to see that I finally fulfilled that promise I made to myself. Thank you for everything," she added. (Footage by Lindsey Moore/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
