I was just moved by this video/story that I discovered on Reddit.

And in case you missed what was in the envelope …

I don’t know anything about this family, but I can relate to the son’s relationship to his parents. I loved this way his father nuzzled up against his son, not afraid to show his love, and clearly comforted by their close relationship. This is very much how my dad showed his love for me and likely one of the many reasons that his passing has been so difficult for me and my family.

I hope that anyone reading this is fortunate to have had such relationships with their parents. I know that I will do my very best to build such strong and caring bonds with my own children.

All the best in the New Year!
