Thoughtful Dad Brings Halloween to Toddler on Cross-Country Flight, Steals Internet's Heart

An anonymous dad won the Internet over on Tuesday, when word of a kind and creative act he did for his young daughter spread. That's because instead of having her miss out on the trick-or-treating experience Monday night, he brought along several "treats" to his San Francisco-bound flight for strangers to hand out to the girl.

Stephanie Kahan posted photos to Twitter late Monday showing a thoughtful note she had received while traveling from Boston's Logan International Airport to SFO.

"My 3-year-old daughter, Molly, was bummed that she wouldn't be able to go trick-or-treating this year due to this flight... so I decided to bring trick-or-treating to her," the note reads. "If you are willing, when my little donut comes down the aisle, please drop this in her basket. You'll be making her Halloween! If you're unwilling, no worries, just pass the treat back to me. Thanks so much!"

Molly was indeed dressed like a donut, according to the fellow passenger, who obliged the father in handing out the treat. She also snapped a photo of the little girl walking down the aisle, but said the dad wished to remain unknown.

Kahan's reaction was one many across the web felt.

"OMG, my heart is exploding right now," she Tweeted with the photos.

As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, her Tweet had been retweeted some 120,000 times and liked 230,000 times. Kahan said on Twitter that the photos received more attention than she ever imagined
