To the father who was at the McDonalds near Costco today. I never thought i'd ever want kids, and i'm still to young to even think about having kids(last year at the UofW. But, seeing you today play with your kids, all three of them. Watching their faces glow and smiles grow with every answer you gave them, and every joke you told. That sir was priceless, and you were enjoying their company as much as they enjoyed yours.
When I was younger my dad always made me feel like I didn't matter. Every report card and every test that I did well on I would race home to show him and he never really said he was proud of me. It really hurt and I always thought I would never want to make my kids feel like that. I was thinking the best thing is to never have kids, less chance of disappointing them and myself.

I am happy for those kids and it is so refreshing to see a father put so much effort into his making them happy. That one moment I shared with the rest of the people at McDonalds when your daughter put her hands on your cheeks and looked into your eyes. My heart dropped when I heard her say loudly as if she wanted everyone to hear "I love you daddy, you are my best dad in the whole wide world." I would say you are one lucky dad, but I am going to have to say those are some pretty lucky kids. Thank you for restoring my faith in being a parent.

Signed
The girl who didn't need to buy a "happy" meal to be happy!
