Dad's tear-jerking interview with daughter 🥹

Plus, Toby Keith's talent lives on.

Good morning. 😁 Can you believe it’s already September? Time flies when you’re having fun. Today’s spotlight features a dad who understands this all too well.

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT

“I Interviewed My Daughter On Every First Day Of School. We Just Did The Last One”

A blonde teenage girl sitting in a chair.

Kids grow up in the blink of an eye, so one dad came up with the most adorable way to document his daughter’s childhood. Every year, on the first day of school, Ray Petelin records a sweet “interview” before Elizabeth heads off to class. He recently posted on social media that his little girl is now a senior in high school, so this would be the last time they’d share this cute tradition. This final interview will bring you to tears!

In his adorable video, Dad started out by asking his daughter to provide her name “for the record.” Next, he asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Throughout this conversation on Elizabeth’s first day of school as a senior, Ray included footage from previous interviews to show how the girl had grown over the years.

One of the cutest things about this post is how many times Elizabeth changed her mind about her career path. Some of her aspirations included becoming a doctor, a teacher, a magician, a waitress, or an open-heart surgeon. However, in her final interview, the young woman seemed to have settled on her future as a nurse or physical therapist.

At the end of each video before the first day of school, Elizabeth’s father made sure to tell her how much both her parents loved her. During this segment of the final interview, though, it sounded like Dad was getting a little emotional. And we’re right there with him.

These interviews are such a beautiful way to commemorate a child’s school years. More parents should definitely try this — but others have their own unique ideas, too. Check out another parent’s sweet back-to-school tradition here!
