An eight-year-old girl's love note to her dad. He drives a delivery van.

The driver said his van gets washed regularly at the depot. His daughter had scrawled this same message previously and it got washed away. When dad drove home she saw his clean van and was disappointed, to put it mildly, that
her heartfelt words were gone.

She re-wrote her note. Dad asked her how big a percentage her love was. Smiling, she spread arms wide and said "This Much!"
