Fathers can make or break a child's life. But it takes a good dad to make their child feel special. When TikTok user Rachel Violet, who goes by @rachaelviolet, had a big day at work, her dad decided to drop by and hand over something that brought her to tears. Sharing the Ring cam footage of the incident on January 30, 2026, Rachel revealed that her dad's selfless love makes her feel "rich," as reported by Newsweek.

UK-based woman Rachel had a big presentation happening at work, for which she was preparing. However, her dad, Mike, decided to drop by at her place to deliver something unexpected. From the ring camera footage shared by her, her dad drops by to keep parcel at her doorstep and leaves. He later messages her informing her that he had brought her a sausage roll for lunch and has placed it on the windowsill. His quiet way of expressing his care for his daughter left her speechless. In the video, Rachel shared that she feels "rich" in life because of the kind of dad she has. She also added that her dad did not want to disturb her, hence wanted to make sure she had food for lunch, making sure that she doesn't have to cook during important work.
In the screenshot shared by Rachel, their earlier conversation also reflects his love for his daughter. The snippet showcases his daughter appreciating the food, sending him a picture of it. And in turn, her father asks if she likes to arrange a lunch together, to which she immediately agrees. Going by the snippets and camera footage shared by her, one thing remains clear: Her father doesn't mind going to any extent to fulfill his daughter's happiness.
A 2015 study published in the Encyclopedia on Early Childhood Development noted that fathers have a great influence on a child's life in every society. "Men's investment in offspring can influence offspring survival, health, socioemotional outcomes, social competence, and educational attainment," the study notes. The study also outlines that when a father is more involved in their offspring's life, it contributes to a positive impact in aspects such as survival and health, educational attainment, socioemotional development, etc. Mike knew that his daughter was preparing for an important presentation at work. As a loving dad, he did not want his daughter to go hungry. His silent yet impactful gesture of dropping lunch at her house speaks volumes about him as a responsible dad in her life. Rachel also acknowledges it in her video.
Soon after the video gained traction, many users expressed their thoughts on it. @Hal wrote, "My dad picks up too good to gos from Greggs by my house just so he can drop it to me." @Jaydee wrote, "I'm rich in life coz my dad and gramps are just like this." @Lewisbyrne_ commented, "God, I'm a mess. This made me wish my dad was like this; that's honestly so special."
