I am 16. I lost my dad 6 months ago, because of cancer. This video went straight into my heart. I never asked him what makes him proud of me, I couldn't say him how much he meant to me(I went to London and stay there with sister...) and I still regret.
It is really sad, when I see teenagers, people in my age who don't have respect to their parents. I just want to tell, that we should appreciate every small thing which they do for us and we should every day tell them, how much we love them and how they are important for us. We don't know the month and the hour, when something might change.
Tell Them Now. #TellThemNow
Katarzyna Tomala You are a great person Katarzyna for the love you show to your parents. I lost my father at the age of 17 and hope that he is in heaven.
Wow... amazing.
Katarzyna Tomala I understand lost Mom at 14 Dad at 17 but we will always have the good lessons we got from them and strive to be the best person we can be . Good Luck to you may your life be blessed
ohooo same time please
don' t worry my FRIEND IN GOD WE TRUST!!
I was holding my tears, but when I see the pregnant woman talking alone, I break. I miss my father so much, and i wish I have tell him sooner how much Im blessed for having him in my life.
Not pregnant, just a tie in the front of her dress.
@@VIVIENDOENTEJAS1 wow that's the only thing you had to say out of that? Pathetic
This got me too,this is my first fathers day without my dad this is rough.
I don't see the importance of fatherhood. I always wondered what's the importance of fathers in a child's life. I can see why mothers are important. Women are socially and biologically programmed to be parents much more strongly than men are. Mothers are the ones that produce milk to feed to their babies. Also, mothers are the ones that are usually in charge of their babies, and they assume that role early on. Also, women have "maternal instinct", while men don't have anything like that. And also, children usually spend a lot more time with their mothers than they do with their fathers, and during that time, the mothers are usually taking care of the children.
Also, most animals in this world are only taken care by their mothers and they don't have their fathers around at all. So why are human fathers important? It seems that a child can grow up without a father, and still turn out ok.
@@cks7548 mira flaco que vos no le veas importancia a la existencia de una figura paternal en la vida de alguien es problema tuyo, si alguien está afectado por la ausencia de un padre no es para minimizarlo, así que metete el comentario por el culo mejor
2:15 made me cry so hard
glad i wasnt the only one
2:17 i know exactly the pain she feels. my papa died 5 months ago and it breaks me that i didn't told him how much i love him enough when he needed it the most.
Same. My dad died almost 10 yeara ago but I really understand you. I wish I told him more how much I loved him (and I still love him)
I know how you feel. My dad died 10 months ago, I wish I had told him everyday how much I loved him. I still love him and miss him so much.
Wow the father with the young child used to be my science teacher, I’m sad that he doesn’t work here anymore but glad that he has moved on to new horizons and I wish the best for him. LOVE YOU MORGAN
oh my god I'm crying so hard. I fear I could never ask my father this question.
Came over from the FBE Father's Day video, and I am so happy they brought me to this video. I have watched this 5 times already. Happy Father's Day to all the father figures out there!
Ryan Ferguson me too man!

Cherish your parents through the good and the bad, I wish heaven had a phone number so I could hear my mom's voice again 38 years was not enough time with her my Lord. I miss you so much mom Rest In Paradise with the rest of the family up there.
My dad died of cancer in '07,my last conversation with him on the phone was hard and he was barely coherent,I had to tell him short of yelling that I loved him and repeated it more for myself than to make sure he heard me.I heard him feebly say with a whisper quiet voice "I love you too",and he died 3 days later. This clip is a punch in the nuts,and still beautiful.
bloodsling Right. I remember my last talk with my dad very well. On the phone. Punch in the nuts would describe this video well enough. To this day, a wee voice in the back of my head tells me I should have dropped everything and gone to the man.
Chris Winter Sometimes life doesn't always give us that option,work,distance,etc. In a perfect world everything in our lives would be 30 feet in any direction from our house :) but it doesn't work like that. As long as our parents know their kids love them and didn't turn out to be wankers that's about the best one can hope for.
I miss you Dad we all do until we meet again always in my thoughts and prayers Love Always Happy Fathers Day🙏
When two little eyes look into your soul. I am Daddy now. Jack Tempchin. Happy Fathers Day 🌼💗 2021.
My daddy passed 6 years ago and I never let a chance go by to tell him how much I loved him. He was my champion and my hero and I am so lucky to have had him as a father....he was more than that he was and always will be my daddy. I miss him and only hope that I made him half as proud as he made me. My mom is pretty awesome too!
I wish I could telly dad. He died when I was 16. I had my chance 2 days before he died to thank him.
But it's been years later, and so many wonderful moments, but he's not here. I hate him for not checking a year earlier. He would've been here for those moments.
But that's life. I wish I could still tell him how much he influenced me and made me a better Father. I miss you dad... I miss so much
Watched 1 minute of this and I'm, crying. I'm a dad of 6 children. 5 boys and 1 girl. My wife and I are sooooooo blessed by each of them!
im a father to a 1.5 yr old...... he makes me proud because he changed me without even knowing he had the power to do so. my son is my life.kids awesome
I miss my father very much.
I would do anything to be able to hug my dad one more time.
No...don’t tell me...o no
I hate how every person got a hug but the lovely lady 😔
I... wasn’t able to ask this before he died...
I miss him...
I miss my dad so much. The last 6 months has been the worst time I've had to go though ever. Everyday suck with out him.
This made me very emotional, but my dad tells me that he is proud of me all the time. I’m so happy to have a great dad
Make sure you say how you feel because they won't be here forever. I wish I could go back and tell my dad that I loved him one more time. I miss you daddy I'm 25 now and I really hope you are proud I followed in you footsteps and became a nurse just like you were.
Yes, I miss my father very much. I was always busy with work, but every year I would take time off and spend 2 or 3 weeks in January with my parents and I am so glad I did. Some of the moments we shared were incredibly magical and unforgettable. We would rent a house somewhere and just be together...
Lost my Dad when I was 16 and that was 29 years ago. I still think about my Dad every day to this day. And although I’ve forgiven myself now I spent a lot of years regretting not telling Dad I loved him. We had a weird upbringing and that unspoken respect towards our father (I’m a twin). This video is great and thank you for sharing
It's been 12 years since my dad passed away and there's no day I think about him. I miss him so, so much.
My dad passed away March last year miss him so much....I think us as males we find it so difficult to tell our dads that we love them....
I miss my father. I pray that my kids understand the importance of this, and that their father doesn't take it for granted. I tell them 24/7 how much they mean to me and how proud they make me. Why wait till it's too late?? Tell them now is right!!! ❤
Happy Father's Day! My father and I used to share a toonie tuesday meal during lunchtime when I was in elementary school. I made a video on my channel dedicating our time together to him. I took it for granted, but when I started this channel, I realized how special that time was.
I really miss my dad. Hope god treat you well and got the best to offer, like used to give to me. Love you dad. Really really miss you.
I didn’t notice that my tears were streaming down from my eyes while I was watching this video. This is a beautiful, inspiring and a very emotional video.
Cannot get over this. So sad. Missing my dad. So many things not said. So many.
I think about all of the things I didn't say almost everyday. I hope we can heal
That lady without the dad there reminds me of my daughter. That is going to be her. Her father passed of lung cancer at 14. She is now 16. This just broke my heart!!!!😢
My father lost his dad when he was 19 and lost his brother at the age of 21. He lost two of the most important people in his life in a two year span. My dad never knew if his father was proud of him or that he loved him and he went 15 years before finding out that answer. When my brother and I were born, my dad knew immediately that his father loved him and he has tried to live his life where his old man could be proud of him. I thank God that he chose to stick around and raise me into the man I am today. I love you, old man! Thank you for EVERYTHING!
I'm 15 years old.. I lost my dad when I was 10 years old. He died because he had a heart problem. I feel I'm alone without him. I miss my dad. Love you dad, rest in peace.
I left my toxic manipulative abusive family behind me. My mom made my dad turn against me, he isn't bad, he resented them for their behavior against me.
I havent spoken to him since I moved out and he's getting older and I'm scared to lose him
write him a letter or call him and just say 'Dad I love you'. You will not feel like doing it, that is normal. But do it anyway
My Dad lost his battle to colon cancer, went yo be with the Lord in 2012 .My Dad alway told me that he was proud of me.fthers day usnext weekend really miss my father. It doesn't seem to get easier. Especially father's day.
I missed you so much DAD !
I proudly cried .
I lost my dad in my early 20s due to complications from alcoholism. He had been in and out of my life since I was 5 and I never felt like when had a chance to truly bond. I know every time we would be together it would be so natural and easy but you could tell he was still struggling and just couldn't kick his issues. I reached out a year before he passed and he never reached out. I just got a call one morning from my sister who was in complete shambles. I love you dad. I wish we could have another chance.
Iam holding my tears ....then i reached 2:17......now ........
Wow. Just... Wow.
it 's good
ohhhhh
this video reminds me of my Dad's lost.. Why am I too fool? Didnt even say I love you to him in times of his difficulties and didnt even make him feel i loved him? even deep inside I really wanted to say it in front of him but I'm shy because we are not as close as other father and son.. He died 10 months ago 😢 and everytime I see a responsible father taking care of his son, it makes me jealous
Just texed my Dad to tell him that no one ever gives him the credit he deserves and to thank him for the good hes done and without judging his wrongs. To let him know I appreciate the lessons in life and the time spent together. I wanted to give my dad the flowers and respect he deserves. After reading his response I'm happy I was the one to do it out of all my siblings!
I could never ask my father why he's proud of me cause he would make it a joke but ill tell him how grateful I am. Happy fathers day.
That's funny. czcams.com/video/uuQBaGpOWO8/video.html
I’m sure he’s proud of you, he might not say or show you it for whatever reason, it might be that he’s taught to not show emotion, or it it might something else. But deep down I’m certain that he loves you.
This is the first CZcams video that has made me cry. I love my father so much. Thank you, Echo Storytelling Agency.
I’m closing in on a year since I lost my father, and so, I definitely feel where that woman is coming from.
its been about 5 years for me and pain still stings. wish you the best and hope you are doing better out there.
@@skullzies785 thank you for your response and kind words! This Aug will make 4 yrs (time flies). I’m...definitely in a better space than I was some time ago...I still have my days, like we all do. But, all in all, I have a beautiful family of my own that keeps me going and most important, I have my relationship with the Most High.
Thank you, have a blessed day and hope you’re in a great place as well.
My relationship with my Dad is very awkward. He never expressed love to me while I was growing up. He provided material things for me but what I yearned for as a child was his affection and attention. I never got that from him. We have never been close. I needed him so much when I was young but he wasn’t available emotionally. It really wounded me, irreparably I believe. What I learned from my father was how to build walls and never let anyone in. So, I’m 52 and have never let anyone in. Never married or had kids. Have no clue what being loved feels like and oddly, that’s all I ever wanted from my Dad as a kid.
Don't blame your father for your failures. Take responsibility for your own life, leave behind the victim mentality. You still have time.
If that’s the life you want, no problem. But maybe if you want more, help at a local organization with people with no homes, who were kicked out or have lost their families; volunteer at a hospital
@@LS-lq1pc I see your comments everywhere and they're always negative and naive.
*Super Troll*
You got some snarky responses. Mine is an encouragement. You're part of a club you never chose to join. The "club" of kids with absent or distant fathers. Many people in this group have a hard time envisioning God as a loving Father because of their experiences with their earthly fathers. I'm here to tell you that you're precious to your Creator. He is the ultimate loving Father. I've followed Jesus Christ for over 50 years and He has never let me down. Backing you in prayer!
I’m with you buddy. I think we have to look elsewhere, but it’s not easy. It’s not your fault, and don’t let anyone tell you how you should feel. We’re all doing our best.
2:15 right in the Heart
I never knew my biological dad. He left me and my mom when i was about 3 and my mom would of been 19... He was 36. My mom remarried probably the greatest human being when i was 5 and he taught me how to be a real man. And i will forever be greatful to my step dad because i know for a fact if be in jail or worse of it wasnt for him setting me straight
My dad had way too much work every day he would come home and work until midnight. Luckily he was well educated and we could have the best conversations (he was a teacher). He thought me many things and to this day still was one of the most influencial people in my life. He saved me from drowning when I was little and that convenient because I prefer being alive.
My dad saved me from being smashed by a dresser ❤️
The scruffy-looking dad saying "your attention to...hygiene" to his clean-cut son as an example of what makes him proud. I don't think people know how much of a compliment that was. The man is saying that he's impressed that his son became what he couldn't.
Dad - thanks for letting me ramble when I’m all blazed out and making me laugh super uncontrollably
This of course made me cry, especially the dad with the alcohol problem. I lost my pop on Christmas day 2005. He'd been an alcoholic since age 14 (though he was a "functional" alcoholic), but thank God he went into rehab and it stuck about 10 years before he passed. I was so immensely proud of him for that and for being an AA sponsor to so many. I still miss him and my mom so much. I know there are some people who don't have a relationship with their dad for very good reasons, but if you've just let things get in the way and haven't said it in awhile then #tellthemnow because your chance may be gone before you know it.
I know your dad did the absolute best he could for you with what he had.
This is so painful and I can't hold back my tears😖
My God,I miss my father... :(
I miss your poems, Dad. Happy Father's Day and rest in peace. Thank you so much for everything. 2023
Thank you React for bringing me here. This is so beautiful and touching. I had to call my dad and ask him. Long story short, I was in tears 5 seconds in. He is also my son's grandpa of course, and he kept thanking me for blessing him with his grandson which made me so emotional.. We had the best conversation we've ever had, and I had no idea about a lot he was holding back for trying to be a hard ass tall the time. lol
This video was not the reason I was crying, it was totally the onions....
I learned the hard way that this is true. Hence, I live my life very differently now, in that in almost every encounter I have with anyone I share my gratitude or appreciation. My mistakes of the past have created the opportunity to be more fully present. I just don't take anything for granted anymore. Thank you for creating this video and sharing these perfect words - #TellThemNow

When I saw that woman with nobody(father) in front of her ..that broke my heart💔💪
This made me cry, I miss my father so much every single day. Life is unpredictable, unexpectedly I lost my father this year January . 💔😭
Every father’s day I expressed through letter how grateful I am and proud for everything of what he did for me and family. But I wish I am more vocal and tell him directly eyes to eyes.
And even asked him what makes him proud about me? 😭💔
My father was an abusive alcoholic. We were estranged my entire life. He died 22 days before my best friend died in 2019, I lost them both three weeks apart. Rest in Peace dad, I wish things were different. Happy Father's Day. 💔
Thanks for the tears.
Powerful campaign!
Hm. I wish I still had mine. A peculiar man. And a flawed man. Almost 10 years after his demise I still can't say that I have any bad memories of him. This video is right on the money. The only regret I have so far in life is not spending more of my adult time with my father. I try to do the right thing by my mother nowadays.
This "tell them now" thing? Trust me. You want to.
I miss my Dad so much. It’s been 14 years since he passed away but still it’s like yesterday. I love you Dad and thank you very much for everything.
Wonderful. Happy Father's Day!
So powerful. Love it.
I love it
Hi. !
Great video. It recognizes the bond of fathers and their children and promotes love.
"This is slightly intimidating."
Yup. I know dem feels.
I’m seeing a lot of people who’s dads died in the comments, my dads still here. But I try supporting people who lost their dads, and then all of a sudden at the end of the video I got a boating camping fishing ad
Seriously amazing idea! Echo, you have won my heart of an inspiration agency. Very glad your doing the work you are in this world!
I hate fathers day, but this melted my heart. My grandfather died on fathers day, and my dad is a compleate jerk and I hate him with all my heart. But still this video is so
So you hate Father’s Day because just your father is a jerk, don’t get me wrong hearing you just makes it sound like he’s an absolute f#cking jerk, but yeah
Oh, this was hard to watch. Makes me want to go up to my dad and give him a bigbigbig hug right now
Hey Guys, I’m not coming in today
-What’s wrong?
Onions. Lots of onions. There’s too many onions.
"Dad, what about me makes you proud?"
"Do I have to answer that one?
Everything you do."
Perfect. ^____^ And that one just might be my favorite one. ^___^
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
...tears of joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am crying
I don't have things that my father was proud of me but in the future i will make my parents proud .
That one woman's absent dad was listening. Somehow, he was. No one - not even a God - would be able to stop him from listening.
That's the kind of love this is.
Thank you, papas. You're always heroes.
This Ad makes me miss my dad so much
I miss my dad so much...
I felt that girl standing there alone. My dad died when I was 17. It's very hard to live life normally like before. It's been 5 years and I'm still not adjusted to it. Very lonely feeling.
I cried so much
why are you crying, why am i crying!? im sick today and ive talked to my dad but wont get to see em until tomorrow. so i decided to take to youtube! and a couple of my sisters in town and im happy about that. but i miss em and really wish i could see em especially after this!!
I lost my father when I'm 15 because of Lung Cancer...That is the most painful memory that I want to fix if I would given a chance to take back the time...My father is the first and Last man that I just want to be part in my life and of course my brother...But I wish his still alive now.. but it will never be again..and it's hard for me to move on💔
Happy Father's day yall.
Happy Father's day
Who's chopping onions? Very touching.
Thanks for such a heart warming video. Will show this to my church here in South Africa tomorrow on Father's Day. God bless you!
The 2:17 there are some on here that already commented, but the sad thing is when your father, mother, grandparent, or even sibling are gone forever it really hits you like a ton of bricks. It could be a day, month, year, or decade before the realization hits of, "oh crap" they really are gone REALLY starts to sink in.
I lost my dad when I was six months
But still I feel that gap
I hope your dad is In Heaven, hope you have a good day
thank you so so much for making this...much love...!!!!.....i miss my dad so...
wow.amazing..good message and fathers are our precious gift.they are our super hero....good video.
superbly done!!!
OKAY, WHO THE HELL IS CHOPPING ONIONS!!!
Awesome video! Let me thank all the wonderful fathers out there - you mean the world to your kids!
Omg the girl talking about missing her dad omg that was a serious punch in the gut. So touching
Oh god I literally broke down with the woman that didn’t had her dad there💔💔💔😭😭😭
My father died in 2007. No prior warning. He just died. I wish I could speak to him one more time.
Mine died in 2014.. i was 14 and we had no idea. He wasn't sick. He was the healthiest man i knew infact. He survived so much.. car wrecks were he should have died. Motorcycle accidents.. yet.. after all that he lived through.. a state road van was what took him out of my life..
He was walkimg as he did every damn day.. comimg home to wake me up and start our day together
When he never came back .. i ain't been the same since..
I'm almost 20 now. My heart is still shattered and broken. I haven't healed at all.
I just miss my dad. I just miss him.
2:18 hurt my heart
My first time watching this video and god damn 🥲 my heart too
