TAMPA, Fla. — Time for your daily dose of wholesomeness.
In a time full of worry and uncertainty, one young girl found a way to make sure her dad always had a companion.
The friend? A stuffed Minnie Mouse doll.
Her father? A fire medic at Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
According to a post on the station's Facebook, fire medic R. Sheffield's daughter made a point to always visit him on the weekends. Something she can longer do amidst the current pandemic.
So, she came up with a way to ensure Sheffield would never feel lonely while on the job and have a constant reminder his daughter was always thinking about him. She lent her dad her stuffed animal.
However, everyone is subject to social distance guidelines at Station 20 - even those of the inanimate variety.
The post added that Minnie will be going to a special two-week isolation spa, which includes a deep cleansing hot bath.
It doesn't get purer than that.
