Dad passes out candy on flight so 3-year-old missing Halloween can trick-or-treat

BOSTON – A father is being called the "dad of the year" for what he did on a cross-country flight Monday.

He felt bad that his young daughter had to be on a plane during Halloween night, so he found a way to make it super special for the little girl, who was dressed as a doughnut.

According to fellow passenger Stephanie Kahan, the father passed out candy to all the passengers on a flight from Boston's Logan Airport to San Francisco International Airport Monday evening.

He included a note to explain the gesture:


Then, he brought his 3-year-old daughter Molly down the aisle to trick-or-treat.

Kahan tweeted out the pics of the awesome gesture so that we can all know what a "dad of the year" looks like.
