Awesome dad gets entire plane to help his daughter trick-or-treat

Dad of the year.

The Internet is calling this dad "father of the year."

On a flight from Boston to San Francisco last night, one father sweetly asked for the help of fellow passengers to fulfill his daughter's Halloween.

Stephanie Kahan, a passenger on the flight, tweeted that the father approached passengers during the flight out of Logan International Airport, and handed them all treats with a small note attached. The note, printed in orange ink in the shape of a pumpkin, read:

My three-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. 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!

Kahan told the Boston Globe that Molly, who wore a donut costume, walked politely down the plane's aisle, approaching each passenger to say, "Trick-or-treat," and collected her candy.

"Everyone seemed to be really touched and excited to participate," she said. "It was a real heart warming moment."

Kahan posted images of the touching note and trick-or-treating on Twitter. Within hours, they attracted a wealth of popularity on the internet.

While the father asked to keep his name out of the media, Kahan revealed that when she told him of his internet fame he seemed "very humbled" that people appreciated his gesture.

We bet this will be a Halloween Molly never forgets.
