What fathers do for daughters.

Getting up at the crack of dawn on Black Friday to chauffeur them and their friends to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg. Then sitting on a bench, a planter and even sometimes the floor, watching bags and waiting patiently for their offspring’s return from various stores.

“I am the driver. And the keeper,” he said, gesturing to several bags he was watching for his 14-year-old daughter and her friends.

“My daughter is picky about her stores,” he said. Plus, he is familiar with the area because he works in Schaumburg.
