This Is Love and Devotion

The love of a father and the devotion of his daughter.

From George Will in Newsweek magazine:

Lillian Gertrude Asplund was 5 when her father smiled and said, "Go ahead, we will get into one of the other boats." He did not. Lillian never married, and retired early to take care of her mother, who never recovered from losing her husband. Lillian, the last American survivor of the Titanic, was 99.
