On a whim, Rosie Paulik posted on TikTok about her father, who had recently gotten a PhD and was “wondering what to do next.”

“He loves writing letters more than most people love their kids,” she wrote in a caption on her video, explaining that he has written her a letter every day, through “college, camp, adulthood.”

“Would you want a letter from my dad?” Paulik asked. “Or know someone who could use a little kindness from a retired professor with a killer signature and a fountain pen?”

Paulik expected a few people to respond. Instead, hundreds did.

“My dad is so excited,” Paulik said of her father, Buz Ecker, 67.
