#TellThemNow: What makes you proud?
"What makes you proud?" As a young woman asks her father this question, she bursts into tears. The action #TellThemNow leaves no eye dry.
The relationship between father and child is very special. Not infrequently, Dad is the hero of childhood, admired and appreciated. But even though you have such strong feelings for each other, it is rarely said what one really feels for the other.
This should change the action #TellThemNow. In a video children ask their fathers the important question: What makes you proud of me? The answers - funny, peculiar or heartfelt, in some cases they may be - tears. At the end of the video is guaranteed no eye is dry.
When a young woman asks his father the important question, it remains silent for the time being. What she hears after the silence makes her cry. Because when the father looks at his daughter's tense eyes and simply answers "Everything you do", it is clear that most fathers can not decide with pride what their many great qualities are to be called by their children. And suddenly it's like a spell broke. At first the tears of the young woman are still unpleasant, but when her father stiffens his daughter's cheek, she lets her. It is a simple and yet so meaningful word that is finally pronounced: Thank you.
And in some cases, it's the children who tell their father what makes them proud of him. And what they miss. Because when the camera swings from the stirred daughter to the father, the room is empty. It is this incredibly emotional scene that fills us with the urge to instantly tell his own family what it means to you. Because one day it might be too late.
Even though parents are mostly proud of their children, the compliments are rarely pronounced. In three minutes, the strong bond between fathers and their children is presented in a way that could not be more honest. Already the deep affection in the eyes of the proud fathers is enough to conjure the audience a little goosebumps and leave the need to call his father.
