Son surprises dad who has cerebral palsy with a wholesome video and his reaction is priceless

Though parents always try to do their best for their children, they often wonder if they are doing enough. In such times, nothing can be more heartening than a child reassuring the parent that they have been perfect. A young man found a heartwarming way to assure his father that he never lagged in any way as a parent. Joe Wampler, the son of Stephen J Wampler who is an entrepreneur and a doting father with cerebral palsy, shared a beautiful video he made for his dad on their family's TikTok handle, The Wampler Way, and it touched millions of hearts.

The 10-second video was the son's way of communicating to his dad that he had been a great parent despite being wheelchair-bound for years. Joe mentioned that his dad had once apologized to him for not being able to "throw a baseball" with him like other dads did. However, Joe wasn't ready to let his father feel that way and simply responded with the 2014 song "You Are Enough" by Sleeping At Last. The video showed the pictures from Wampler's days as a young father laughing and bonding with his kids while the lyrics, "You are enough, you are enough, you are enough. I promise you are enough," played in the background. "If any little league teams need a coach, he’s the best out there!" captioned the proud son.

This wholesome video made by Joe garnered huge attention from the internet with over 3.5 million views. So, the son decided to share to the world his dad's reaction to the video. Watching his son's wonderful expression of love, the dad was absolutely brimming with happiness. He watched the video with eyes wide in excitement and when the "you are enough" part began, the man got emotional. Over 15.5 million people watched Wampler's wholesome reactions and the comments section was filled with overwhelming love and support. 

"Disabled parents have to fight through a lot but I am sure raising great humans like you makes it worth it," said @penny__f. "Oh my! Every parent hopes to hear this from their adult children. You are a wonderful son," @quadsquadmom1chimed in. "Dad maybe not throwing any baseball for you. But for sure, he's throwing all the love he got just for you to be here," said @asyrafhelmi98.  

Wampler has not only been a wonderful dad to his son but also an inspiration to many young people who have similar disabilities to his. He and his wife Elizabeth established a thoughtful initiative, the Stephen J. Wampler Foundation, in 2004 and focused on bringing the summer camp experience to children with physical disabilities. Wampler believed that a physical disability must not intervene with one's spirit to have a fulfilling life. Having been deeply impacted by incredible adventures in nature in his youth, Wampler wanted to give young people the same liberating experience. Their Camp Wamp has been helping many kids in wheelchairs explore the beauty of nature along with indoor and outdoor activities.
