Meet 18-year-old Meg Sullivan and her dad, Tom who live in Tacoma, Washington.
Because Megs parents are divorced, Tom has been making her lunches for school since kindergarten, and last year, her family started to make jokes about how her dad still peels her oranges for her – even though she was 17-years-old!
“He ignored us and kept peeling them, and then yesterday when I got to school on my last day of high school, I pulled out my lunch and found two unpeeled oranges and a printout,” Sullivan said.
“I thought it was just going to be a letter saying ‘Happy last day of school!’ or something, so when I opened it I couldn’t help but smile,” she said.
She said after school, Tom made a joke with her and asked if she had “figured out how to peel it,” and said that she had managed to peel the oranges “with the help of the directions, of course.”
“I’m his last kiddo leaving for college this year, and you can tell he’s really really sad about it,” Sullivan said.
“He has always gone above and beyond and is easily the cutest and most caring man I’ll ever know. It’s gonna break my heart to leave him for college, no doubt.”
Meg tweeted about it, and the post quickly went viral and was retweeted over 83,000 times.
“I keep yelling downstairs to him how many likes we’re at, and he laughs about it,” Sullivan said. “He doesn’t really get Twitter, so yesterday when I told him I had 300 likes he was like, ‘Is that a lot?!'”
