A Muskogee man is getting a lot of attention for something he did for his daughter this week that got posted on Facebook. All it took was a little salt and a lot of love.
When Elizabeth Bautista Boyd arrived at her company parking lot on a cold winter morning, to her surprise, she found that her dad was there waiting for her.
Elizabeth’s dad had driven to his daughter’s company parking lot in Muskogee, Oklahoma, early in the morning, to be sure that he was there before his daughter arrived. Streets and sidewalks had frozen the night before, so her dad had woken up early to bring some de-icing salt so that he could sprinkle it on the ground to make safe Elizabeth’s path from her car to the company’s front door.
“You guys… THIS IS MY DAD,” Elizabeth shared.
“He drove to my workplace and waited on me to arrive so he could pour a trail of salt from my vehicle 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.”
This simple but sweet gesture of a father’s love for his daughter has touched thousands of hearts online.
“What I did was not anything that any other loving father wouldn’t have done for their children,” said Rudy Bautista, “Really it was the Lord’s doing through me that made such a small act on my part and turned it into something big.”
Rudy said he did not do it for fame or notoriety, however, he and his daughter hope his act continues to inspire others to be kind.
Elizabeth also runs a ministry service to help people in need. She said because she has gotten so many new Facebook friends from her viral post, the ministry has received dozens of donations.
