But this was different.

The couple was so moved by the dad’s love and care that they penned a heartwarming note.

It read:

“Hi there! Sorry to spy but my husband and I saw you out with your little date and were so impressed with what a great dad you are. From two adults who grew up without dads, it’s so important to have a male role model at a young age. Keep up the good work Dad!”
