Her Dad Watched Her Get Dumped And Sent Her A Heartfelt Message Afterward, Sharing His Wisdom About Love And Loss
One of my favorite quotes from the infamous movie musical “Grease,” is Frenchy’s line, “The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.”
Many girls raised by loving dads come to this realization at some point, as when they get heartbroken one or several times by cruel men in their lives, they discover their dad will always be there to offer love and a shoulder to cry on.
One young woman recently went viral on TikTok after sharing the touching and inspirational text message her dad sent her about breakups.
Fallon Thompson (@fallonthompsxn), a 20-year-old from Texas, unfortunately, experienced a breakup while standing in her driveway.
Fallon’s dad, Scott, happened to see the whole thing and knew he needed to give his daughter some words of encouragement.
Fallon opened her phone to see a very long and heartfelt text from her dad, which she was kind enough to share with her TikTok viewers.
“Hey baby girl, here is some perspective from your old man,” wrote Scott.
Scott describes how he had several different kinds of relationships, from serious ones to flings, that all came to an end before he met Fallon’s mom.
Scott recalls how he instantly felt different when he met Fallon’s mom, and he wouldn’t have been able to spot that without his former relationship experiences.

“What you are dealing with today is necessary in order for you to one day be able to discern when a person is really right for you,” wrote Scott.
“I can also say that even though I was broken up with, and in one instance, cheated on, it was worth it to get where I am now.”
Scott reassured Fallon that he didn’t wish for one second to be with the women he was with before her mom, even though when he first split from them, he was heartbroken and sure he’d end up alone.
“Some of the best advice I can give you is this,” wrote Scott.
“When someone lets you know you are not for them, deal with the pain and hurt with the knowledge that this person just gave you back the most valuable thing in the world: your time.”
Speak on it, Scott!
Scott then poetically says it’s better to be grateful for your experience with that person and move on, knowing you can go off and live your life without being “shackled” to someone who did not want you.
Scott then ended his long, beautiful text with a metaphor. He explained that there is a difference between cows and bulls in a storm. Cows run from the storm but eventually end up being tortured by it as they keep themselves in it longer.
However, Scott says that bulls run toward storms and face them, as although it may be scary, they are strong enough to get through them.
“The storm passes them quickly, and they are soon in a peaceful place,” wrote Scott.
“So be the bull; lean into the storm. Embrace the ‘stuck’ and let it fill you up. You are strong enough to endure, and very soon, you will be at peace.”
Scott’s sweet and inspirational text went viral on TikTok, with almost four million likes.
“Your dad just fixed a little part of me; thanks for sharing,” commented a TikTok viewer.
Thank you, Scott, for your words of wisdom, and thank you to Fallon for being vulnerable and sharing them.
