Elizabeth Bautista Boyd was surprised to find her dad waiting for her in the parking lot of her workplace one cold winter morning.
Elizabeth’s dad drove to Muskogee, Oklahoma, early in the morning to make sure he was in the parking lot of his daughter’s company before she got there. The streets and sidewalks had frozen over the night before, so her dad got up early to get some de-icing salt and sprinkle it on the ground to make a safe path for Elizabeth from her car to the front door of the company.
“You guys… “THIS IS MY FATHER,” said Elizabeth.
“He drove to my workplace and waited for me to get there so he could pour salt from my car to the front door of my building so that I, his 38-year-old daughter, wouldn’t slip and fall on the ice…
My heart y’all… Love you daddy.”
