Daughter Fulfills Childhood Promise To Buy Dad Dream Truck

A daughter who 15 years ago promised her dad she’d one day buy him his dream truck surprised him with a toy version – before he stepped outside to find the real thing waiting for him. Annelis Petit, 33, from Austin, Texas, shares a close relationship with her father, Alejandro Hernandez, 63, who lives in Katy, Texas. Fifteen years ago, in her teens, she made a vow that when she "made it" in life, she would buy him his dream truck – though, at the time, admitted she had no idea how she would make the dream a reality. Still, Annelis said she carried the truck surprise with her into working life, as she was always aware of how many sacrifices Alejandro made when he moved from his native Venezuela to the United State to provide his children with opportunities he’d never had. Having recently been given a raise at work, Annelis told herself it was "now or never" to make her truck surprise dream work – and so she and her husband sourced a vehicle, arranged for delivery and kept everything a secret from her dad.
