Twitter user R1A says she always wondered why her dad insisted on wearing the same old polo shirt all the time - until she discovered the reason.
Looking through her deceased grandfather's belongings, she found a photo album with pictures from her parents' honeymoon.
That was when she first spotted the polo shirt she'd learnt to hate.
Her dad had his green and yellow polo shirt on in several photos, right next to her mother who was wearing a matching shirt.
Her mother died of cancer 18 years ago, when she was only six.
The daughter knew right away it was a special memory from the honeymoon.
"When that polo shirt gets a hole in it, he carefully sews it back together," she told Buzzfeed.
"He wears it for any special occasion, be it a work study event or a trip out with the family."
She added that she always wondered why her dad insisted on wearing that old polo and thought it was "uncool" of him to do it but admits her feelings have changed.
"Now I think that I have to look after memories too. I will never throw away anything important of my parents or grandparents."
