Sometimes children can truly surprise us by acting way beyond their years.

Radio presenter James O’Brien has shared text messages sent by his daughter and she’s capturing hearts online.

My youngest has had my old phone for a couple of years. Just for games, which I download for her before disconnecting the internet. Still has my old contacts though & it turns out she’s been messaging my dad, who died 5 years ago. I may have something in my eye. pic.twitter.com/RZ5ZTgGbnk
