Doting dad brims with pride while gushing about what his son thinks of him and his wife

The bond between a parent and child is not the same in every family. While some kids share a beautiful relationship with their parents, others can't wait to get out of their homes when they are capable enough. However, there's nothing more fulfilling for a parent than knowing their child loves them dearly. One Indian dad is so proud of his caring son that he cannot stop himself from tearing up when speaking of him. A video shared on Reddit by u/Dhenier7 captured the dad's love and pride for his offspring. Though the dad is quite content with how his son treats him, he admitted that he misses one thing in their relationship and the internet felt his pain.

In the video, the dad is seen reading a newspaper while a stranger poses him a question. "Who's that person in your life who has loved you heartily, took care of you very well, whom you don't want to lose?" the interviewer asks. Without a second thought, the dad replies, "My son." He then goes on to explain how great his son's love for him is and his face is lit up with pride the whole time. "He worships me like a God," the dad says, before narrating a heartwarming incident. Once, his son's college professor asked the class if anyone had seen God. While the other students answered what they understood of God, his son told the professor, "My mom and dad are my God. Whatever I wish for, my parents fulfill it. So for me, they are the God."

The dad had a wide grin while talking about his loving son. When asked if he was happy, he said, "If my son is happy, then I'm happy. If he is unhappy, then I'm unhappy." The interviewer gave the dad a rose and asked him to keep smiling always, but that's when the dad got teary-eyed. "I am proud. He takes care of me so much. He says, 'Papa. I want to achieve something that carries your name," the emotional dad mentioned. Though his 22-year-old son strives hard to take care of his parents, the dad feels that he misses "the love of a son."

"Always set aside time to spend with your parents. No one loves you like they do," the video's caption read. This proud father's story touched many hearts online. "Everyone, talk to your parents, just make a short call. Life is very short, so keep talking to your parents as long as they are there," commented u/LoseInhibitions. "The family won in what is called 'life,'" remarked u/Mridubhasi. "Made me cry, brother," added u/dexter186186.

Speaking of wholesome father-son relationships, a son's emotional call to his father, expressing his honest feelings left the internet in tears. Popular creator AchieveYou (@toachieveyou) on TikTok asked a random boy to call someone he loved and express his feelings. The boy chose to call his dad and after a few moments of exchanging niceties, the boy told his father, "I just wanted to call you to say that I love you." The dad replied, "Oh well, that's awesome, buddy. I love you, too. Thanks for doing that." When the boy expressed his love again, the dad was almost brought to the verge of tears.
