"I’m bawling seeing that," one wrote on the post.

"I noticed the necklace also! How wonderful to have that reminder of your dad and his life! Also you can give it to Grace later and she will have the picture reminder of your dad and you also because you always wore it!" another commented.

"What a beautiful necklace," a third wrote.

"My sister and I do the same – on our birthdays we celebrate the half birthday as we are 6 years and 6 months apart exactly," one shared.

"My friends think I’m crazy for celebrating half birthdays ... glad I’m not the only one who does this," another commented.

"I thought my family was the only one who celebrated half-birthdays!! We started that tradition when I got diagnosed with brain cancer as a four-year-old!! Made it through and almost 23 years later we still celebrate life any chance we can get," a third added.

"Every day is a gift and blessing. Your love for family and God's amazing creatures shows in everything you do. May you be blessed and continue doing what you love," a fan wrote.
