As a parent, seeing your child graduate from high school or college is one of the most memorable events in your life.

People who have been through it will remember the pride and unbridled joy that come from seeing your not-so-little one finish a part of their life they worked so hard to complete.

Dennis Roach, a dad from Texas, must have felt ten times better in 2018 because his daughter’s high school graduation gave him the chance to take a picture from 2000 all over again, and the result made people all over the world smile…

Dennis finished high school in 2000, and he was lucky to have his toddler daughter Tori with him for the party.

At the time, they posed for a picture, and Dennis kissed his little girl. It was the right way to remember his big day.

In 2018, Tori Roach was the one who marked the occasion of her high school graduation.

Dennis was, of course, there to celebrate the occasion, and he and the other person had the great idea to take a new picture of the two of them from eighteen years ago.

In the new story, Tori lay in her dad’s arms and got a kiss on the face again.

People on Twitter loved the pictures she posted of the pictures from 2000 and 2018. No one could have predicted how well it would be received.

“18 years later,” Tori wrote under her picture. It quickly went global, getting 57,000 reposts and almost 150,000 likes.

In the comments section, many people were happy to see the picture.

“Ugh this is just the sweetest,” one person wrote.

Another added: “One of the best pictures I have seen … I wish you and your family the best of luck.”

“Wow lovely…” a third said.

But the feature that a lot of people saw and couldn’t help but comment on was probably the most interesting thing about the two pictures.

One thing that stood out was that Tori’s dad, Dennis, didn’t look like he had aged at all between the two pictures.

“How old is your father,” mused one person. “He looks ageless.”

“I think you froze your father until you grow up,” another joked.

“Damn did you dad age any?” a third quipped.

Tori couldn’t believe how many people were interested in her post.

She later had to explain that her dad, who was 37 years old when she graduated from high school, wasn’t single.

She also talked to People about Dennis’s pride.

“I woke up and I had a ton of notifications. People had started sharing and liking and commenting all over again. My dad was really proud. We’re from a small town, so nothing like this really ever happens. And he was like, ‘That’s so cool!’”

She added, “It brought me and my dad closer in a way because we could share that moment, and I feel that not many other people get to experience that.”

This is such a sweet story about how much a father loves his daughter.
