These Secret Pictures Of A Dad And Daughter Holding Hands Is Melting The Internet's Heart

Few things can compare to the love a father has for his daughter. Or the love a daughter has for her father. OK, maybe the love a child has for her mother, but I digress. You get what I mean, the bond between immediate family is very strong, and unless you were raised by literal wolves, you have an idea of what I mean.

But let's say you have no idea what I'm talking about. No problem, I'm more than happy to explain. And because I know people don't often read much, I will take to images to illustrate the point I would like to prove: that fathers and daughters go together like peanut butter and jelly. Or chips and dip. Or scary movies and Halloween. Or nerds and libraries. Or flowers and insects. You get the picture.

I mean, just take a look at this mom and you'll understand exactly what I'm trying to get across. Reddit user MrsIronBad is melting hearts with this collection of photos featuring her husband and their kid. She has been taking pictures of the two of them holding hands for years—without them ever knowing it.

In their finery, in their casual wear, in nature or at the mall, these two walk hand in hand:

Other people admitted to having similar, though less flattering, collections:

And a lot of people had suggestions for how she should make the big reveal. MrsIronBad thinks she can keep the secret until her kid is at least 18—or maybe when she gets married?

Some joked she better get a lot of pics now. Teens, man.

Everyone wants to know how she is keeping this secret. Turns out her husband is kind of a Luddite.

There are rewards to staying off social media! They just take longer.
