To my own dad and to the kid who made me a dad for the first time (Sasha would’ve been in this photo too but she was back in the campsite doing a really good job of staying away from the water!)
Looks like WestJet’s trying to repeat their successful Christmas viral video with another one that will pull your heartstrings for Father’s Day (plus to help make the video go viral, they’ve offered additional flights to Ronald McDonald families for every 100,000 views the clip gets up to a maximum of 500,000.)
