In the last message that Patterson sent to her father, she wrote: "Tomorrow is going to be a hard day! It's been 4 years since I lost you and not a day goes by that I don't miss you. A lot has happened in that short time, but I'm sure you know that, because I tell you all the time. I won the cancer and I haven't gotten sick since you were here, like I promised you I would take care of myself."
She added: "I graduated, I fell in love and I was heartbroken (you would have killed him) but I came back and became a stronger woman. I lost all my friends and hit rock bottom, but I found someone who came into my life and saved me! I don't have kids yet, you must be happy , but I'm ready."
She ended the message with an emotional face: "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I'm afraid of marriage because I'll have to walk to the beach alone and you won't be there to tell me everything will be fine. I'm fine. You'll be very, very proud of the woman I've become. I want To tell you that I love you and I really miss you!".

I wanted to write to you Been back for years, but I didn't want to break your heart. You are an amazing woman and I wish my daughter could have become the woman you are. Thank you for the daily messages. You reminded me that there is a God and it's not his fault that my little girl is gone. He gave me you, my little angel And I knew this day would come."

Patterson posted a screenshot of her and his message and wrote: "I've been texting my father every day for 4 years to let him know how my day was. Today I got a sign that everything is fine and I can let him rest in peace."
She has since explained in another message that Jason, her dead father, was not her biological father, but served as a father figure to her: "Jason was not my biological father, but blood does not make him closer. I have known him all my life. I cried with him, I told him Everything. So yes, Jason was a father and he was also a role model for many kids in our town."
Patterson's post went viral and received many supportive comments.
However, there were also some who thought that Brad, the bereaved father, should have revealed his identity sooner because in fact all this time he was being exposed to intimate details about a girl he had never met.
