A son breaks the news to his father that he's earned a scholarship to his college of choice. And this dad's emotional reaction is the best thing I've seen all day!
Parents want nothing more than for their children to be happy and healthy and to succeed in life. That’s why nothing causes a mother or a father more pain than to see their child going through hardships and trials. Moms and dads would do anything and everything in their power to alleviate their child’s pain.

Similarly, nothing brings a parent greater joy than when their child succeeds. Parents want to see their children experience joy and happiness, no matter the occasion or situation. A clip posted on YouTube shows how much one father was overwhelmed, breaking down in tears after being informed that his son had earned a scholarship to college.
The short but moving clip begins with a young man, wearing football gear, informing his dad, who leans against a chain-link fence, about the good news. He starts by telling his father he’s going to update his wardrobe.
“You might as well buy some TSU shirts to rep at the games,” the young man says.

However, his father does not immediately understand what his son is trying to tell him. The dad responds that he will continue wearing what he has because it has his son’s nickname.
The young man comes clean with his good news, telling his dad what he was trying to get at with his t-shirt suggestion.
“I know, but now you got a reason to rep TSU,” the son tells his father. “Because I’m on scholarship.”
Immediately after those words exit the young man’s mouth, the father reacts emotionally. It sinks in that his son has earned a scholarship to his college of choice. The elated dad reaches over the fence and gives the young man a massive hug, picking him off the ground.
During the loving embrace, the father breaks down in tears, crying on the young man’s shoulder.
