The sweet photos encouraged many others to share photos of their dads. While themed-photoshoots for special occasions may be quite common nowadays, but it’s not the case for elderly people. So, one adorable photoshoot of a man for his 90th birthday is melting hearts online.
Twitter user Karen Alea from the US recently shared a few shots from her father’s special photoshoot delighting many online. Sharing three images to mark the milestone, Alea wrote, her father “wanted to do a photoshoot to be posted on social media even though he isn’t on it”.
While one showed him posing against a piano at his home, two others were clicked with his pet dog named Delilah.

His happy expressions warmed hearts online and wishes poured in on the microblogging site as the tweet went viral.
In an update, Alea said her father was touched by all the love he has been receiving and later posted a picture of him seeing all the messages. She explained that her brother showed him how people have reacted to the photos, and the nonagenarian said he was happy to put smiles on people’s face.
“My dad told me he knows people are depressed and he’s so happy to make people smile, even for just a minute,” she added.
My brother is showing (explaining) all of this to him.

Well, please tell your dad that I was feeling very depressed until I got online just now and opened Twitter to find your photo shoot celebrating his turning 90. Now I feel like baking cookies! Thank you both.

This is the last picture I have of my folks together. It’s from their 60th anniversary. My Mom hates it, because he was so sick, but it shows their love for so many years. pic.twitter.com/dqenVQkCyk

I lost my dad two days ago. My mom, his bride of 61 years, and I were with him until his last breath.
Give both of your dads a hug from me. pic.twitter.com/5jtXeX9oST
