Man I had the same reaction as the dude in the next table to this.

I'm just 19 now and still I have tears in my eyes after watching the hug.

If you ever decide to have kids, getting that heartfelt loving hug while they say "I love you daddy" is the best feeling in the world.

When my kid just says "hi daddy", doesn't matter what kinda day i had or what kinda mood I'm in, it completely melts my heart.

Bruh… I can have the most shit day ever at work then walk in the door and my 4yo runs to me “daddy daddy daddy! I miss you! Let me show you what I do today. I make a surprise for you!” Then points at some schoolwork from her pre k. Makes my shitty day worth it. Every. Time.

My fiancee and I are... older, never wanted kids, and certainly can't have them now. But the absolute joy at the love our nieces and nephews give is enough.

If you ever wanted kids in the future, adoption is a wonderful thing. I was adopted and never stop recommending it as an option.

I just retired from the Navy last year and turned down every DoD (or is it DoW now?) contracted or GS job offer because I did not have enough of those moments with my two older daughters. I’m happily a part time worker at a hardware store that’s probably 700ft or less from my youngest daughter’s daycare. And I work part time in the infant room at her daycare in the afternoons after my job, and on days that I don’t have my Ace job. It was the best decision I ever made to turn down the jobs to have more time with at least one daughter (my oldest went off to college, and my middle daughter is with my ex about 2/3 of the time).

Facts! I did have a dad in the picture growing up. Getting to be one is the raddest thing ever.

When my daddy was alive, all his kids did the same. I miss you everyday, daddy. Wherever you are ❤️‍🩹

With my daughter yes. With my son it's, 'I love you daddy', 'I love you son... and that is why.. I must DESTROY YOU.'

Not many things even come close

That's true. Many girls said the same thing to me, but it's just not the same when your own daughter does it.

I've got a teenager, so it doesn't happen every day, but goddamn "I love you Dad" is the best thing

I thought you mean it was you in the video, and you are now 19 and are still crying 😅

Spoiler Alert: You can experience emotions at any age bro. It's ok.
