This is a story that is just sticky sweet.
A Maryland girl saved a treasure trove of inspirational Post-it notes from her stepfather, which he wrote throughout her time in middle school, and gave them to him as a present on Father's Day.
The video of Brian Sandusky opening his present from Sophia Wilcox was posted to Twitter where it was viewed more than 6 million times.
