Before his daughter was due to kickstart her first-ever work day in the city, the dad wanted to ensure she would be safe and comfortable.
Father-daughter relationships are woven with love, wisdom and relentless support. Even as their daughters grow into adult women and navigate the complexities of life, dads are always ready to lend a helping hand to their little girls. Making sure she is secure, comfortable and happy becomes a father's utmost priority and he does his best to be her protector and confidant. Recently, one such dad went viral on social media for his thoughtful gesture for his daughter who was soon starting her first day of work. Meg, who goes by @tacobellbaybee on TikTok, shared a video of her dad accompanying her to the city and it's absolutely heartening.
The 16-second video shows Meg and her dad taking the train and spending time roaming and eating in Chicago. As Meg was about to start a new job, her dad wanted her to practice commuting and walking to work. "My dad took the train with me to the city to practice walking to work because my first day is Monday," the text overlay on the video reads. The man wanted to personally guide his daughter around the city and help her get used to the nuances of public transport and walking. "The bar is way above the floor," the proud daughter mentioned in the caption. The video went viral with nearly 950K views within 10 days.
"My dad did this with me too. The Metro ride, the walk to the building and back. He ended up changing his own work schedule so we could then commute together every day," said @jlaudz. "Now he knows your journey, which bus, which path, he has an idea of how long this may or may not take. He is keeping you safe," pointed out @itsme_katyyy. "You’re very lucky. As much as being independent is great, I prefer this. I never had this and I always felt jealous of a lot of my friends who had this. But I'm sure I and my husband will do this to our future kids," added @coldbrewkween.
No matter how old their daughters grow, they will always be their little angels for dads. Several dads looking out for their adult daughters have left the internet dewy-eyed over the years. One particular video of a dad showing up with an umbrella in the rain to pick up his adult daughter had many cutting onions. Jasmine–who goes by @jasminelhr on Instagram– posted the heartwarming video of her dad taking care of her in the most adorable way.

"A rainy day in January with dad," the video was captioned and in the clip, we can see the old man wearing a yellow shirt and walking in the rain with an umbrella. He was thoughtful enough to bring an extra umbrella for his daughter. "Almost 30 and already a mom, but my dad still picks me up with an extra umbrella at the bus stop whenever it pours," the text overlay reads. Though he was soaked in rain, the man made sure that his daughter got home safe and also advised her to watch out for the slippery pathway as she was pregnant.
