  • His daughter just died and he's out delivering pizzas. No words can describe the amount of hurt I feel knowing he probably doesn't get a break or a day off. Bless this man.

    Daughter in heaven to Cohen : "Dude that's my Dad, pls give him a hug for me"
  • @ChristianSchu
    I realized how quickly the man reached down for the hug. He really needed it. God knows exactly what everyone needs. You never know how much these little things matter to people.
  • @NallDave
    Kids are so intuitive. That lovely little boy knew this guy needed a hug.

    YouTube: So I noticed you haven't cried for a while. . . . here you go. . .
  • @adamaj74
    I bet that man broke down when he got back in his car.
  • The day I came back to work after suffering a devastating miscarriage, my students (who had no idea what had happened to me) surrounded me with a huge group hug and I just sunk into their tiny arms. Children know.
  • @kenthefele113
    You know that man just sat in his car and started crying. This is why children are so special.
  • You can tell he’s a dad by how fast he frees up his arms for that hug.
  • I feel so bad for Ryan. One act of kindness can make somebody’s day. One act of cruelty can ruin somebody’s life.
  • Shortly before the pandemic I was going through a really hard time. I was at a restaurant waiting for my to-go order. A mother walked in with her 3y/o daughter and the little girl gave me a huge hug. The mother told me she loves hugging. Little did she realize how much better that made me feel

  • His daughter used your son to hug her Dad made me tear up..What a precious moment.
  • @Monkeymanxxl
    None of us know what a kind gesture might mean to a stranger, just be kind.

    If you’re strong enough to still go to work and put a smile on your face after you lost a loved one….mad respect to all those people man..
