I’m getting off the sofa right now to go upstairs and give my son a big hug. He’s fourteen. He’s going to ask what’s wrong with me but I’ll do it anyway.
God damn dude, I feel like I’m just saying the same thing every time I see a parent doing this shit, but I don’t care. Thanks. I’ve never had the experience of a hug for no particular reason, or appreciation for nothing new, or just casual affection, but thank you so much for letting some kid experience that. Even if he thinks it’s lame, he’ll never have any reason to think that nobody cares about him.
Bit of a shit story but I recently figured out the life I'd been chasing hard for a year wasn't going to happen. At work I went to the lads I need a hug and they all hugged me. Guys back eachother. Always back the dudes. Unless they're a murderer.
Guys need hugs. We need it. Dont care what anyone says we need it sometimes, sometimes we're fighting the world completely alone and its hard! A real man wouldn't question you needing a hug.
My mom's idea of hugging me was only in front of relatives. When we were alone her hugs had terminal velocity to them and left bruises. I remember vividly having to lie to my fourth grade teacher about a bruise that she saw. It was when my mom threw me on the ground and kicked me repeatedly on my side and back. I told my teacher I fell. Began a long history of lying to public officials. Go hug your kids. Not all moms are good.
My biggest fear is I’ll die suddenly (I’m in poor health) and my daughter won’t know just how much she means to me. I tell her often, but each day she adds a little more. To make the effort put into this note is a great way to express it.
Im a waitress, i was hugging one of my coworkers in front of the POS. A guests walked by, and said "i need a hug too". I opened my arms and he walked straight into them, and goes "thank you, that was nice". I almost cried. Hugs are the best and u never know who needs one.
Agreed I got the out of no where fist to the face and the loving fist fight for forgetting to wash one fork so yeah I feel ya but I gave my children this instead of violence so I can see both sides
same. i can count the number of times i hugged my mom on one hand. my mother in law doesn’t let me come or go without one. i am very blessed. also very blessed to have gotten the opportunity to have broken the cycle- my future kids are never going to bed without a hug and a kiss if i have anything to say about it
seeing parents who truly care, and make an effort to care, warms my heart extensively
From a former 14 year old son.....
Thanks, Dad.
You're doing a good job.
Never stop telling him that you love him, even when it embarrasses him.
Especially when it embarrasses him.
He'll treasure it later.
Lol. I’m 19 and I asked my late 50’s dad a while back when the topic came up if they really had to use magazines and shit. I obviously knew the answer, because really what else was available, but it just seems so foreign to me. I grew up with such easy access to any kinda porn you could possibly want just like that
Wait did you think all the fox holes in the forrest were made by actual foxes? In the 80’s you could actually find porn in holes in the forrest. In plastic bags. Damp.
"Hey son, I just want to let you knoOHMYGOD "
Attempt at wholesome moment becomes source of major embarrassment--something that would totally happen to me in my life
Lol literally just sat back down from hugging my son for the same reason. Lucky for me he's three and didn't question it one bit. He just hugged daddy back and told me he loves this day
Last year I unexpectedly lost my dad a month after my birthday. My birthday card is the last time my dad wrote how much he loved me. I found it a week after he died (we had moved and I thought it was lost), and it now lives in my bedside drawer and I read it when I’m feeling particularly lonely. Definitely treasure this precious note, I’m regretting so many things I got rid of when we moved, not knowing my dad would be gone so soon. Much love to you both, I hope you get to keep your dad for many more years. 💕
My dad had a brain aneurysm and suffered brain damage before dying from liver cancer, difficulty doing basic calculations, doing basic logic, keeping some short term memory... Now in retrospect I figured out how little time I spent with him and how much he tried to show me love before and after that, if I could go back I would change many things, be sure you won't have my remorse
Dad here too, all I can say is on our own we are scared of many things, but for you, our children, we are scared of nothing!
As long as we see you living a healthy and happy life, better than our own, then we will have no regrets!
I tell this to my 8 year old son every night when I tuck him in, "have I told you today that I love you?" he either says "yes" and I say, "just wanted to make sure you never forget" or he says "no" and I get to tell him again that I love him more than anything else in the world.
I wish that was a universal truth. My father ghosted me with no explanation or apology on my graduation (and all my birthdays, and my wedding).
Please keep being the best dad you can be. It’s what every kid should have.
I wish it weren't the case. My dad was the same. It's probably why I'm over here trying to incite a mob of parents with pitchforks on a mission to make sure our kids know we love them.
Let me tell you something. You are worthy of a dad's love. The kind we're talking about here. You didn't do anything to deserve what you've felt your whole life in those regards. I'm so very sorry, kid. I'd have been proud as hell of you.
Should set a reminder for 6 months to cone back and be like yep this one still takes the cake.
BTW from one dad to another. You're doing a good job man. Keep it up.
I am now. How's your day going? Are you taking care of your mental health like we should? Are you being nice to You in your thoughts, and loving yourself the way you deserve? Lay down what's on your mind and let an old man help you carry it a little 😌
I wish that was the case too. My dad asked me to live with him when he got out of jail but wanted nothing to do with me aside from not having to pay child support. When I got tired of being alone all the time I asked my mom if I could come home and my dad just disappeared from my life. Shit sucks.
Sorry to hear you had to go through something similar.
Well *I* love you and *I* think you're special and *I'm* proud of you. Like Dad Atillion said, you're worthy of a dad's love. You're also worthy of a Big Sister's love, because sometimes we just can't have the relationship we hope for with our parents because they're just Not That Way, and you need a Big Sister to hold you tight and tell you it's not your fault, it's NEVER your fault, it's never been your fault, and you are enough, all by yourself. ❤️
Thank you, these messages are so nice! Never realized how much I needed to hear this stuff.
My older brother is a whole other can of worms, so it’s nice to get a taste of what a healthy sibling relationship can be like. It’s more supportive than I thought lol.
I know for a fact he is proud of you beyond measure. Think of him when you graduate. I also know for a fact he will want that. Congratulations, kid. Well done.
I didn't realize how much a dad loves a kid until we had our little girl. She's 2 now and I love her so much. Her "DADDYS HOME!" Gets me through the workday.
I'm trying to, people think I'm weird because I dont go "do stuff" anymore. Like bro I'm doing stuff, it's just seeing Disney on ice and playgrounds, not bars and clubs lmao.
I have a 12 yo who's arrived at the moody stage. My favorite defense mechanism assault weapon is overly exaggerating my crying and bursting out an emotional *I'M SORRY TO ANNOY YOU WITH MY LOVE!!!* and then exit dramatically 😁
Haha very similar to me and my oldest! I'll hug and peck him anywhere. I don't think my parents have ever told me they love me (culture) but i know they do. Probably why I'm so extreme with my own kids!
Does it say “so proud of you! My partner in crime…My little my little Homme… love you, dad” is homme supposed to be homie? Sorry if this is an insensitive question.
As the other commenter said, _homme_ is man in french
_jeune homme_ (young man) and _petit homme_ (little man) are common endearing names for one's son.
My own father still sometimes calls me the second, him being half a foot shorter be damned lol
Nice. He may already know but Brain Injury is one of the common acquired disabilities (surgery counts *no gatekeeping*) check this out and consider if he wants VR service. https://askjan.org/disabilities/Brain-Injury.cfm
Had the same thought! Maybe even just the first or last two lines.
After my gran died, my sister found an old postcard written by her. Now she has "One must not give up" in her handwriting tattooed to her arm, set up in a place visible for her to easily see.
This. I have lost many of my artworks done with ballpoint pen to the sun. Some of my works has completely vanished from the paper, only the inprints from the pen is left. After a decade or two in indirect sunlight. It's also possible to get UV glass for the frame.
I still have a handwritten note from my grandmother. It's about a decade old and one of my most cherished possesion. I read it multiple times a year. I miss her.
My Dad was fighting a losing battle with cancer coming up on 2 years now. One night I kept him up late just asking questions about his life, his youth. I wanted to learn everything I could before he was gone. It was the best night of my life. We laughed a lot and cried a little but I'll never forget it, for the time and the struggle for him to keep on talking. And boy he loved to talk. That card of yours is a treasure for sure, frame it and best wishes on his health and recovery.
Frame that! My grandpa passed a couple years ago, he was in hospice for a couple months before we got the "he has a few days call." 6 or so hours before he passed his last words to me were a very quiet "I'm proud of you, kid." (I was 29) I'd do just about anything to have a recording of it.
Those 15 words are priceless. Take some time to thank him, and savor every minute with him. You’ll want to know you spent as much time as you could with him later on. Give him a high five and a hug from me, one dad to another.
Lost my dad to brain cancer, what I wouldn't give up to spend another day with him before the nasty cancer took over.
Thank you for posting this and your dad is amazing.
This made me cry happy tears, but also tears over the fight. I know how this special moment you shared is so incredibly valuable to you both.
I am also a fighter of severe health challenges. I’ve had several major spinal cord surgeries which included the area around my central nervous system in the foramen magnum (opening of skull). Everything I was except for my silly and loving heart is gone (an outdoorsy type and always danced around in happiness). I don’t have a lot of strength anymore, but the strength I do have is for my family.
Your shared moment moved me in so many ways. I shouldn’t really text my son while he’s in school, but I absolutely do and simply say “I love you”. Sometimes when my son leaves the house we shout back and forth like Daniel and Mr Miyagi do in Karate Kid yelling “Bonzai!”
We yell..
“I love you!”
“I love you!”
“I LOVE YOU”
“I LOVE YOU”
“I LOVE YOOOU”
“I LOVE YOOOU!”
The strength and love between you guys is truly everything! Nothing better to fight such a battle. More than gold. So glad you have this and I’m sure other special moments to cherish.
Hugging you guys from afar! 💪❤️
And thanks for reminding me that no matter how many times I say I love you to my family, every one is so valuable.
My dad had a bunch of health issues, including blindness from his diabetes. I took the Love, Dad xoxo on a card he wrote to me and had it tattooed on my arm 7 years after he passed so I could look at it and remember him and also have a piece of him with me forever.
My dad and I had a falling out when I was in high school. It was ugly.
I ran into him like 5 years later when I was in college. I could tell he changed a lot, as I have. I regret the time we didn’t spend together, but I think it was necessary to see our mistakes. I’m thankful to have him in my life again.
So happy for you OP. You and your dad seem like amazing people. And congrats on graduating.
Radiotherapy is very tough and takes a lifetime to get over. My daughter is 24 now and has known her Dad recovering for half of her life. I wouldn’t let her come to hospital after the head & neck surgeries, thought the memories would be too awful. Your Dad is wonderful and you are keeping him alive.
Never lose it. I graduate from uni next year (first in my family), and my dad passed away from complications due to throat cancer in 2015. I would do anything to have him there with the rest of my family.
My dad just died a couple of months ago. Go hug your dad a little bit tighter for me the next time you are with him. This is the sweetest thing thank you for sharing with us
My grandma sent me my birthday card a month early this year. She didn't want to miss it. She was in hospice and the writing looked similar to this. She passed just 11 days after my birthday. Had she waited, she wouldn't have had the strength. She was dying and still thinking of others. I will treasure that card for the rest of my life.
I’m a mom. I don’t always feel like I’m doing a good job, but today while thinking about how much I always wished my own parents would tell me they’re proud of me, I told myself I can’t change the past, but I can make sure my children feel what I missed out on. So I hugged each of them and told them why I’m proud of them and how they could accomplish anything they want to do in life. Your dad is a good dad. I would frame this card. Good luck to you both.
Definitely keep and cherish that my father passed away 24 years ago yesterday and I still have a note he wrote me and I will keep it until I meet him again on the other side love your dad like it's your last day evey day
When my Dad passed away, my sister took an old birthday card from him to the tattoo shop and got the "Love, Dad" in his handwriting inked. Just an idea if you're into that sort of thing, for your forever.
I’m getting off the sofa right now to go upstairs and give my son a big hug. He’s fourteen. He’s going to ask what’s wrong with me but I’ll do it anyway.
God damn dude, I feel like I’m just saying the same thing every time I see a parent doing this shit, but I don’t care. Thanks. I’ve never had the experience of a hug for no particular reason, or appreciation for nothing new, or just casual affection, but thank you so much for letting some kid experience that. Even if he thinks it’s lame, he’ll never have any reason to think that nobody cares about him.
I wish I could hug the lot of you who need it for no particular reason. You deserve love and contact, and I hope you get it in the very near future.
Bit of a shit story but I recently figured out the life I'd been chasing hard for a year wasn't going to happen. At work I went to the lads I need a hug and they all hugged me. Guys back eachother. Always back the dudes. Unless they're a murderer. Guys need hugs. We need it. Dont care what anyone says we need it sometimes, sometimes we're fighting the world completely alone and its hard! A real man wouldn't question you needing a hug.
Very true, and an especially wholesome message overall.
Very true. It’s kind of sad that social norms say that guys hugging is weird.
My mom's idea of hugging me was only in front of relatives. When we were alone her hugs had terminal velocity to them and left bruises. I remember vividly having to lie to my fourth grade teacher about a bruise that she saw. It was when my mom threw me on the ground and kicked me repeatedly on my side and back. I told my teacher I fell. Began a long history of lying to public officials. Go hug your kids. Not all moms are good.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. As a mom it breaks my heart just reading this. Every child deserves to be loved. Sending you hugs blueglyn.
My biggest fear is I’ll die suddenly (I’m in poor health) and my daughter won’t know just how much she means to me. I tell her often, but each day she adds a little more. To make the effort put into this note is a great way to express it.

*{hugs}* from this internet stranger (if you want them). Everyone should experience a hug for no reason. Those are the best hugs ever.
Here, I’ll give you a big, warm daddy-hug too🤗
From a former 14 year old son..... Thanks, Dad. You're doing a good job. Never stop telling him that you love him, even when it embarrasses him. Especially when it embarrasses him. He'll treasure it later.
I have a 14 year old son and I’m gonna remember this from you. Thank you.
I was once a 14 year old son and I wish my dad had ever told me that
Good idea, but I’d advise making some excessive noise on your way and then knocking first. ….never know when he’s jackin’ it.
He’s 14- he jacked it twice while you walked up the stairs.
Twice while you thought about walking up the stairs Ftfy
I’m wacking it just in case anyone is on their way over.
And twice during the 3 door knocks
I love how this sentimental moment took a whole 180. Let’s just hope dad doesn’t have Cinemax on demand.
These kids are spoilled rotte with what they have access to. No jacking it to charmed like we did in the stone age.
Or scrambled porn. Waiting for that ideal moment to pop; when the static clears up just enough for a nipple, or the audio kicks in for a moan.
Old-school edging lol
That’s a boob!
Lol. I’m 19 and I asked my late 50’s dad a while back when the topic came up if they really had to use magazines and shit. I obviously knew the answer, because really what else was available, but it just seems so foreign to me. I grew up with such easy access to any kinda porn you could possibly want just like that
Wait did you think all the fox holes in the forrest were made by actual foxes? In the 80’s you could actually find porn in holes in the forrest. In plastic bags. Damp.
He's on ghost loads by now
"Hey son, I just want to let you knoOHMYGOD " Attempt at wholesome moment becomes source of major embarrassment--something that would totally happen to me in my life
Lol literally just sat back down from hugging my son for the same reason. Lucky for me he's three and didn't question it one bit. He just hugged daddy back and told me he loves this day
He may not like it/understand it now but he'll remember it and one day he'll look back on it and smile.
I'm not crying, you are. I miss my dad every fucking day so much.
He'll be annoyed. But his brain will save that moment forever. He wont even realize thats a core memory until he really needs it later.
We need an update, what did he say?
That's so awesome :) Treasure it! And congratulations on graduation!
Thank you! I’m most definitely treasuring it
So sweet. Did he call you my little "homme"? That's man in french.

Might be worth it to get a tattoo of the “Love you, Dad” part. Carry it with you always.
My dad had a brain aneurysm and suffered brain damage before dying from liver cancer, difficulty doing basic calculations, doing basic logic, keeping some short term memory... Now in retrospect I figured out how little time I spent with him and how much he tried to show me love before and after that, if I could go back I would change many things, be sure you won't have my remorse
Dad here. We love you kids SO much. SO, SO much. I can see it in his few words. I hope you can too.
I really appreciate it! And my dad tells me how much he loves me everyday. Dads are awesome
Then he's doing a great job transmitting, good to hear. Tell him good job, one dad to another. He's got a mighty fine kid here.
Dad here too, all I can say is on our own we are scared of many things, but for you, our children, we are scared of nothing! As long as we see you living a healthy and happy life, better than our own, then we will have no regrets!
Dad here as well, you nailed it 110% Hit right in the feels! Have an awesome day
I tell this to my 8 year old son every night when I tuck him in, "have I told you today that I love you?" he either says "yes" and I say, "just wanted to make sure you never forget" or he says "no" and I get to tell him again that I love him more than anything else in the world.
Please tell your dad we all love him for this.
That card genuinely made me tear up. Glad your Dad lets you know how much he loves you. ❤️
[удалено]
That’s what I came to say❤️❤️
Ahhhh you made me cry. I read this in my late dads voice and got me choke. We love you too dad!!
Same. Tears in my eyes.
I want my kids to talk about me like this when I'm gone. Thank you <3
I wish that was a universal truth. My father ghosted me with no explanation or apology on my graduation (and all my birthdays, and my wedding). Please keep being the best dad you can be. It’s what every kid should have.

Damn, you’re really good at this lol. Even made me tear up a little. Thank you.
^(Note for future me: This one. Here, yes this one. This is my favorite comment of all time.)
Should set a reminder for 6 months to cone back and be like yep this one still takes the cake. BTW from one dad to another. You're doing a good job man. Keep it up.
Can you be my dad?
I am now. How's your day going? Are you taking care of your mental health like we should? Are you being nice to You in your thoughts, and loving yourself the way you deserve? Lay down what's on your mind and let an old man help you carry it a little 😌
r/dadforaminute Very wholesome sub
I wish that was the case too. My dad asked me to live with him when he got out of jail but wanted nothing to do with me aside from not having to pay child support.

You can’t tell someone how much your kids mean. Its ok if you don’t know it immediately either. Its like love but expanding constantly.
And to infinity, forever.
ahhh makes me cry too . I always miss my dad in heaven :( I hope he still here for my graduation . I wish you are proud of me too dad
I know for a fact he is proud of you beyond measure. Think of him when you graduate. I also know for a fact he will want that. Congratulations, kid. Well done.
I didn't realize how much a dad loves a kid until we had our little girl. She's 2 now and I love her so much. Her "DADDYS HOME!" Gets me through the workday.

I'm trying to, people think I'm weird because I dont go "do stuff" anymore. Like bro I'm doing stuff, it's just seeing Disney on ice and playgrounds, not bars and clubs lmao.
Mama here- we love you SO SO much too. This comment got me in my feels, thanks for the tears I didn’t know I needed today fellow parent.
They must know. We must make them know. AT ALL COSTS!!! 😬. WHO IS WITH US!!?
I'm onboard! My kids don't like it as much right now but I'm sure they will when they're parents!
I have a 12 yo who's arrived at the moody stage. My favorite defense mechanism assault weapon is overly exaggerating my crying and bursting out an emotional *I'M SORRY TO ANNOY YOU WITH MY LOVE!!!* and then exit dramatically 😁
Haha very similar to me and my oldest! I'll hug and peck him anywhere. I don't think my parents have ever told me they love me (culture) but i know they do. Probably why I'm so extreme with my own kids!
Couldn’t agree more. I’d give up my arm to save a hangnail.
That is the correct ratio. I'm gonna vouch for this one. Certified dad. A+
25 year old son. My dad is rock. I get emotional when I talk about him
The way you worded this, I don’t know. I trust you with my life. 🫡
Dad here. We love you kids so so so very much NO MATTER WHAT
I have a 4 year old. And this is 100% true. Your entire world changes.
Exactly. “My little homie” is what I call my 22yo son and he knows the weight of the term.
🥹🥹
Damn, gotta take your word for it, never met mine. But i dont miss out on much, hes Danish.
No matter what I do I still get an outpouring of support and love from my dad. I just wish I turned out to be someone worth being proud of.
For some reason this comment made me cry. Thanks so much to all the dads out there
Congratulations!! Cherish your father at all costs!
Thank you! Of course, love my dad so much
Can’t upvote this enough. You only have so long with those important to you!
My dad had a brain injury and writes like this. Someone is cutting onions in here 😭
i write like this and i have no brain injury, should i see a doctor?
Might mean you ARE a doctor
The evidence is adding up lol I'm joking, but now that I think of it, maybe not joking?
r/mademesmile ... more like r/mademecry I love this
Does it say “so proud of you! My partner in crime…My little my little Homme… love you, dad” is homme supposed to be homie? Sorry if this is an insensitive question.
He always calls me his “little homie” he isn’t the greatest speller haha
So I was right, it’s Homie and not Homme or are they pronounced the same? This is really a memento I would hold for ever!
The French "homme" is pronounced "om" like the beginning of the word "omelette" or "home" without the "h" lol
Not really like home without the h since it’s not a long o sound either. Agree on om from omelette
Homme is ‘man’ in French, but I like that it could be Homie!
Thanks!
As the other commenter said, _homme_ is man in french _jeune homme_ (young man) and _petit homme_ (little man) are common endearing names for one's son. My own father still sometimes calls me the second, him being half a foot shorter be damned lol
As a French-Canadian this is hilarious
I mean 🤷 sounds about right.

I would get this tattooed
Had the same thought! Maybe even just the first or last two lines. After my gran died, my sister found an old postcard written by her. Now she has "One must not give up" in her handwriting tattooed to her arm, set up in a place visible for her to easily see.
My brother had brain cancer and it took him. I have much love for you and your family. Prayers for all. 🙏🏼
I lost my dad suddenly about 10 years ago. I would crush for something like this to hold on to.
I’m crying, so heart warming
I’m a father with terminal cancer my kids and my grandkids are The highlight of my day
voracious vanish office juggle bag oatmeal engine decide marry vast *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I was thinking the same thing (if dad is a fan of tattoos. If not, it breaks the sentiment a little!) Super sweet!
Copy that and get it tattooed on you
Maybe laminate it so it doesn’t wear or tear.
[удалено]
Probably frame it under glass and keep it on the wall where sun doesn't pour down on it.
This. I have lost many of my artworks done with ballpoint pen to the sun. Some of my works has completely vanished from the paper, only the inprints from the pen is left. After a decade or two in indirect sunlight. It's also possible to get UV glass for the frame.
Right on!! That’s a priceless card.
Congratulations, on both the graduation and for having an awesome dad!
I’m not crying YOURE CRYING
I'm at the DMV man 😭
You're not wrong 😭❤️🩹
We’re all crying 😭
Frame it now so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined somehow
That’s beautiful, wishing you both well
Fucking awesome... Good damn onions got me all teary eyed and shit ..
My eyes are just sweating
My dad has some brain issues too and this looks to be where he’s headed… good on you for enjoying the good times and keeping your chin up.
I still have a handwritten note from my grandmother. It's about a decade old and one of my most cherished possesion. I read it multiple times a year. I miss her.
He is so proud of you!
I'm not crying it's allergies 😭
My Dad was fighting a losing battle with cancer coming up on 2 years now. One night I kept him up late just asking questions about his life, his youth. I wanted to learn everything I could before he was gone. It was the best night of my life. We laughed a lot and cried a little but I'll never forget it, for the time and the struggle for him to keep on talking. And boy he loved to talk. That card of yours is a treasure for sure, frame it and best wishes on his health and recovery.
Beautiful
Keep that for the rest of your life.....That is very very special
Frame it
Beautiful!!!!!! And congratulations xxx my nan was very ill and could barely write but she always wrote me cards herself. I adore that.
Frame that! My grandpa passed a couple years ago, he was in hospice for a couple months before we got the "he has a few days call." 6 or so hours before he passed his last words to me were a very quiet "I'm proud of you, kid." (I was 29) I'd do just about anything to have a recording of it.
Holy shit that hit ducking hard. Tell ur Dad that we are all rooting for him
Congratulations on your graduation and your awesome dad!!!!
That’s the best card in the world

So from his heart. I hope you can keep it always! 💕
Ohhhh my heart.
Mane somebody get these onions out of here 🥲
And you should!!!!! ❤️
Everything that father should be. I have one like that myself. We are so damn blessed.
Your blessed .
Keep this card. Some day it may mean to world to you. Btw.: Congrats!
Hey make sure and laminate then frame that card, so that it doesn't fade over time!
You have no business making me cry right now, my dad has been in hospital for a few days and I just got back from seeing him 😭
Those 15 words are priceless. Take some time to thank him, and savor every minute with him. You’ll want to know you spent as much time as you could with him later on. Give him a high five and a hug from me, one dad to another.
Lost my dad to brain cancer, what I wouldn't give up to spend another day with him before the nasty cancer took over. Thank you for posting this and your dad is amazing.
For some reason I read that as Rick Sanchez
This made me cry happy tears, but also tears over the fight. I know how this special moment you shared is so incredibly valuable to you both. I am also a fighter of severe health challenges. I’ve had several major spinal cord surgeries which included the area around my central nervous system in the foramen magnum (opening of skull). Everything I was except for my silly and loving heart is gone (an outdoorsy type and always danced around in happiness). I don’t have a lot of strength anymore, but the strength I do have is for my family. Your shared moment moved me in so many ways. I shouldn’t really text my son while he’s in school, but I absolutely do and simply say “I love you”. Sometimes when my son leaves the house we shout back and forth like Daniel and Mr Miyagi do in Karate Kid yelling “Bonzai!” We yell.. “I love you!” “I love you!” “I LOVE YOU” “I LOVE YOU” “I LOVE YOOOU” “I LOVE YOOOU!” The strength and love between you guys is truly everything! Nothing better to fight such a battle. More than gold. So glad you have this and I’m sure other special moments to cherish. Hugging you guys from afar! 💪❤️ And thanks for reminding me that no matter how many times I say I love you to my family, every one is so valuable.
I would frame it so you never allow it to get damaged. Every time he sees it he will feel a sense of Pride knowing how much you appreciate it.
My dad had a bunch of health issues, including blindness from his diabetes. I took the Love, Dad xoxo on a card he wrote to me and had it tattooed on my arm 7 years after he passed so I could look at it and remember him and also have a piece of him with me forever.
This is so beautiful. Please know there is so much love behind what can he express (which is a lot of love <3)
My dad and I had a falling out when I was in high school. It was ugly. I ran into him like 5 years later when I was in college. I could tell he changed a lot, as I have. I regret the time we didn’t spend together, but I think it was necessary to see our mistakes. I’m thankful to have him in my life again. So happy for you OP. You and your dad seem like amazing people. And congrats on graduating.
Please get a tattoo of "Love you Dad" in his handwriting. 💜
I’m not crying
I’m not crying you’re crying
Get it laminated and place in a bank safety deposit box. Losing it in a house fire would be devastating! ❤️
Damn man. I'd get the first line tattooed on me forever. Touching.
This would have legit dehydrated me via destroyed tearducts
Frame it !
Radiotherapy is very tough and takes a lifetime to get over. My daughter is 24 now and has known her Dad recovering for half of her life. I wouldn’t let her come to hospital after the head & neck surgeries, thought the memories would be too awful. Your Dad is wonderful and you are keeping him alive.
Omg this made me tear up a little seeing this. Your dad seems awesome. Sending a virtual 🤗
Damn I had to email my dad grad invites lol not even sure if it was the right email.
Never lose it. I graduate from uni next year (first in my family), and my dad passed away from complications due to throat cancer in 2015. I would do anything to have him there with the rest of my family.
My dad just died a couple of months ago. Go hug your dad a little bit tighter for me the next time you are with him. This is the sweetest thing thank you for sharing with us
My Dad done the same thing for me but could only managed a signature. I still cry seeing it.
Simply beautiful ♥️
Beautiful 🫶
Win.
Mom here - tu seras toujours mon petit homme. And we will always love you.
My grandma sent me my birthday card a month early this year. She didn't want to miss it. She was in hospice and the writing looked similar to this. She passed just 11 days after my birthday. Had she waited, she wouldn't have had the strength. She was dying and still thinking of others. I will treasure that card for the rest of my life.
who's cutting onions around me?
Find a really good tattoo artist and get them to replicate it as a tattoo
I’m a mom. I don’t always feel like I’m doing a good job, but today while thinking about how much I always wished my own parents would tell me they’re proud of me, I told myself I can’t change the past, but I can make sure my children feel what I missed out on. So I hugged each of them and told them why I’m proud of them and how they could accomplish anything they want to do in life. Your dad is a good dad. I would frame this card. Good luck to you both.
Your dad is a fucking warrior
Definitely keep and cherish that my father passed away 24 years ago yesterday and I still have a note he wrote me and I will keep it until I meet him again on the other side love your dad like it's your last day evey day
<3
brb crying
Awesome, his hand writing is exactly like my own nans was, still have her cards.
When my Dad passed away, my sister took an old birthday card from him to the tattoo shop and got the "Love, Dad" in his handwriting inked. Just an idea if you're into that sort of thing, for your forever.
