When Halloween[1] is coming and your child can't eat candy because he follows a special diet to treat his epilepsy, you don't just tell him he can't trick or treat. You don't even just tell the neighbors he can't have candy. No -- you go to the toy store, get some alternate giveaways and distribute them to people nearby with one helluva great note.


It may seem like you are a superhero, and to your child, you probably are. People may share your words on Reddit -- not once[2] , but several[3] times[4] -- and you'll go viral because love like this is too beautiful not to share.


Some people may even call you the "best dad EVER,"[5] but as anyone with kids knows, this is what parenting is all about.


Found this on my door knob. Best dad ever
