A doting father with a rose garden has made it his mission to ensure his daughter never leaves without a fresh-cut flower in her hand. He even remembered to give her a rose on her wedding day, and the pair’s special bond is touching thousands.
Cassi Adams, 26, lives in Michigan about an hour’s drive from her father, 55-year-old Steve Adams, whom she sees for boating trips and dinners as often as she can.
“He’s goofy, he’s very funny, and he’s sensitive but in a masculine way,” Cassi told The Epoch Times. “He has an extremely tender heart and he cares deeply about the people he loves.”

Cassi, who owns a digital marketing agency, said that she thinks her father’s roses are his way of showing his love, respect, and gratitude.
“He’ll do it for me and my sister all the time … we always leave with one. He’ll get a paper towel, wrap the stem in it, then seal it with aluminum foil so [the rose] makes it home,” she said.
One June day, after Casi spent the day with her father on the lake, she filmed Steve from her car window as they said goodbye. In the adorable clip, which went viral on Instagram, Steve runs across the lawn with a red rose in his hand, determined that his daughter gets the rose before she drives away.
Cassi received an influx of positivity from netizens after posting her video but was also saddened to know that not everyone has a father figure like Steve.
“Everyone was saying, they’re so happy and so touched! … ‘It’s amazing that you have a father who does that, that there is a man that does that.’ People were also saying, ‘I wish I had that, or I can’t imagine having that, but I hope that for my children,’ and it was really sad, because for something that was so normal for me, it’s not normal for the world,” said Cassi, more grateful than ever for her “hands-on” dad.
