It’s no secret, just about any male aged teenager and above can become a father. But, becoming a Dad …that’s a whole different story.

This is a story about Brenna Martin’s dad, Bryan Martin …a real Dad …probably just Daddy to Brenna. Brenna recently graduated from North Johnston High School in Kenly, North Carolina. After the graduation ceremony, Brenna’s dad gave her a gift. It was a book, but it wasn’t your average book. This book was a 13 year laborgift of love.

Pictured below is Bryan and his daughter Brenna at her high school graduation. Below the picture is a link to the rest of the story from NBC News.

If you haven’t heard of the Martins yet, you’re going to love this story. To read it on NBC Today Good News, click HERE.

    Thanks for sharing this great story, Russ. I often give “Oh the Places You’ll Go” as a graduation present. What a heartwarming story and such foresight on the Dad’s part! Hugs, Cathy
