The proud father is Derek Godwin. The 51-year-old supported his daughter Dayona by going to all of her basketball games throughout high school and college, even though doing so prevented him from fulfilling a lifetime desire of his to see a Philadelphia Eagles game during the football season.

Dayona did not disregard her offering. He, therefore, came up with a unique idea for his father to realize his desire after graduating! Dayona had secretly purchased two tickets for the Eagles vs. Washington game on Father’s Day.

I realize this isn’t your standard card, but trust me, it will all be worthwhile, she wrote. I want to start by expressing how wonderful a father you are and how grateful I am to have someone like you.

to demonstrate to me what a man ought to be and how I ought to be treated. Through athletics, our father-daughter relationship is strengthened. You inspire my desire. We have produced memories that will endure forever.

You exposed me to the Lakers and Eagles, two of my favorite sports teams. You’ve supported the Eagles for a very long time. You’ve been alive longer than I have, yet you’ve never been to an Eagles game.

We’ll be attending our first NFL football game together and hopefully making another memory you can cherish for the rest of your life, just like I do. I adore you, Dad, and I am so excited to share this experience with you.

It means that he will finally get to see his favorite team play in person this December! When Dayona revealed the incredible surprise, his reaction was priceless! Check out the sweet moment in the video below, and don’t forget to share this story.
