“I was apologizing to my dad on a stretcher after my car accident,” someone shares in the comments. “I’d never seen that man cry. He said something at the time that breaks my heart now. ‘No I’m sorry I’m sorry that I made you feel that a car means more to me than you. I can replace that [explicit] thing. I can’t replace you.'”
“The fact that he got there before the paramedics,” another points out. “He’s a good dad for sure.”
