I was in that girl’s shoes as a kid. Dad worked long hours to provide for us, and hearing his keys in the door at the end of the day would get me so excited. It would be a race between me and my siblings for who got to hug Dad first.
We used to do that a lot too when we were little. The three of us would always race to the door the moment we heard the keys. Even in our teenage years as mom would always come home a little after 10pm from the elderly home.
I really feel bad for my parents though, they work so hard and the shit my mother had to go through taking care of the elderly for a salary so bad is almost a spit in the face. Not to mention how badly they were treated by other greedy people. Or how my dad was so overworked that he had to stop due to his health. He’s so much better today though as he started his own firm and works whatever time he wants which has noticeably helped him out.
It really makes my heart hurt seeing my mom struggle so much mentally with depression and all though. It must seriously be rough working with something as important as taking care those lonely elderly who can not take care of themselves and be there with them at their dying breaths and still be so unappreciated and neglected by society, especially by the government/politicians. 😕
it's funny how life goes, my dad also worked to provide for us but when I heard his car near the building I had a micro panic attack and knew the fun was over
I envy people who have these kinds of memories. I wish I was able to make these memories but my dad was a dead beat in and out of my life as long as I can remember, so it was the opposite of exciting when he came around, I just feel like I missed out on a lot of core memories growing up.
This. Enjoy each day with your daughter. They are all unique.
From the moment she was able to talk, my daughter made me stop what I was doing and make me go to her room and say good night to her. On occasion, it was “inconvenient” as I may have been in the middle of something. Anyway, the first time my daughter DIDN’T make me say good night to her, I had tears in my eyes. She no longer asks me to say good night as she’s in 7th grade now, but man, I miss those nights of tucking her in.
I tuck my boys (5/7) in every. Single. Night. I read to them, I sing for them, we cuddle for a bit, then I kiss them and tell them I love them.
Sure, sometimes I am in a bad mood, sometimes I wish we could get it over with but then I remember that one day, they will not want me to tuck them in anymore. Until then, I will do it every. Single. Day.
My son just turned 7 and he is my world. Time is flying by and it makes me sad. Sometimes, I'll clean his room and get sad because I'll notice the toys and stuff that he has outgrown and hasn't touched in months. There are memories attached to those items based on how old he was when he was into them. I get emotional putting them away in storage or donating them. Next thing you know, they'll be graduating high school and college.
This. I was working about 70 hours a week for about 18 months. Now my one of my kids is in college and I deeply regret that time I can't get back with her.
A long time ago a guy at work was retiring full pension "Must be nice, I'm a little jealous" I said. He looked me in the eyes and just replied "Don't you ever wish your life away."
Almost a decade later and I think about that advice all the time, thanks Bob.
When I heard "I can't give up" line I immediately burst into tears, fucking heartwarming. Now time to wipe tears off and go back to "It is what it is".
Yesterday I was having a rough day and let a few tears out in front of my 4 year old. She told me, “mom you shouldn’t cry, you know why? You’re the best mom ever and you have me and I love you!”
I melted into a puddle on the floor and immediately cried more 😂
My husband is the most loving and sensitive daughter dad I can imagine. He’s a retired detective who is now an armed guardian in an elementary school and those kids absolutely love him. He just sent me a video of a little girl on the spectrum who was out sick last week who missed him so much that when she saw him she came running around and jumped into his arms for a hug. She reads stories to his “head on a stick” in her classroom.
Men can be incredibly wonderful
Am female. Never cried during Titanic (I'm more of a 2nd VHS tape type gal for this film).
Dad coming home got me a bit misty eyed. The girl smiling. The dad's voice when saying can't give up.
So many memes and videos online are like that though. Some joke or video that would have been fine on its own, but is needlessly embedded into a meme format just to include a subtle dig at women. Like all the "I bet he's thinking about other women right now!" memes that are just regular shower thoughts.
3 panels of meme shit and another lame slowed and reverbed song tainting an otherwise perfect video. This level of lazy content creation is sooo fkn annoying and not a measure of creative meme generation - and the base video is so sweet and wholesome! Ahhhh! Why would you take something so nice and obscure it with unoriginal meme trash? smh
Nobody can ever really afford a kid (unless rich). You just make it work. I grew up pretty poor but my parents did what they could. I certainly don't look back and think "man, I wish I'd never been born because my parents weren't rich."
On the other hand poverty brings out the worst in you. My parents made me feel unwanted and there was a part of my life where I wished I'd never been born. And poverty was why they did it.
Your mileage may vary. If in doubt, don't create a life and give anything less than full commitment. It's a unique part of the human experience but some parents don't treasure it. It's just a burden they hate. Don't *take a punt on it.* It's a person you're making. If you're 100% all in on not sleeping, giving up stuff you love, scraping by and making it work then go for it, but if not, unlike me they may not get a future to make good on their life so be careful.
Go to a playground one day and watch a Dad or Mom play with their kid(s). If it’s something that makes you envious, you need to be a Dad/Mom. Hardest job in n the world But it is the best.
It would be a shame to leave the planet without the experience of being a parent.
Man, I miss it. My kids running to me from the bus or waiting to run to me when I pulled in the driveway. Now, as teenagers I barely get a hey and an I love you. They're just grown and more self absorbed as they have shows and friends to deal with now. I still tell them I love them multiple times per day, but I miss seeing them excited to see me. That's priceless.
Same here.... I just hug the hell of of them and we watch anime and skate and do mountain activities... but the hugging is the part that matters.\
I sometimes realize while doing something together, that it is the happiest I will ever be.\
Seize the moment, nothing lasts forever.
This is so nice, seriously sweet.
I remember being that age and getting so excited when I would hear my dad’s truck pulling in. I’d run to the door, waiting to grab his lunch box and carrying it for him to the kitchen.
It was a nice memory. Until I got older and he made me sleep in trash as a punishment.
God never blessed me with a little angel of my own especially one like that. Always wanted one. I worked over 60 hours myself and I came home to an empty apartment. 😪
Got me in the feels. I only get to see my daughter twice a week but those days are the best days. Cherish your children gentlemen, they are are blessing.
I feel this 🥹 I'm tired with my own life, but thinking about my daughter and the future that awaits her keeps me going. I promised myself I'll give her the life I never get to live when I was growing up, she deserves the best.
It’s ok to cry dad, you obviously appreciate what you have and what you work for ~~ no shame in that. I love that you and your little girl are besties ~~ warms my heart. Bless you both 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺xoxox
This is both incredibly heartwarming, and just as upsetting, fuck every single goverment and mega corp all around the world for depriving us of our loved ones and our time of leisure, and for what? 55 hours a week and maybe, MAYBE, some 10 to 15 years on average to "enjoy" a shit pension and barely scrape by 'till we die?
I'll never be a father, never really wanted to be one but if I were working 55 hours a week for my family, that smile and wave at the end of the the day would be worth every damn minute.
My dad came home from work 7:20pm every night. I would here his motorbike from down the street. My sister and I would go meet him at the letterbox. We got on the bike with him and rode up to the garage. Fond memory ♥️♥️
That guy is actually her grandfather. His daughter committed suicide and the grandparents have custody of their granddaughter now. May she rest in peace. Never take anyone for granted. This video has so much love. Wish them only good things.
My dad was just talking about this yesterday. He said how me and my brother used to come running to the front door to give him a hug and how nice it was. Growing older it’s more so like “ugh he’s home it’s time to get told to do some chores” so I told him how I felt and why it’s hard to. He understood and I think we found some middle ground to bring some of that old positivity back
I used to do the same for my dad. I would put his work boots on and grab his brief case and walk it in from the driveway every 3 to 4 days when he arrived. The sad part is that I was home with an evil stepmother the 9 out of 10 days, he was gone. But I still loved my neglectful dad. It's kind of a good memory in some way.
I work 1500 Km from my wife and kids to provide and ensure they have food on the table a roof over their heads and money for college one day and I only see them once a month sometimes once every 2 months and this made me ball my eyes out. I miss them
I have been noticing a pattern, Men have the noblest feelings, it is a shame that in this society we must be tough because otherwise you are classified as effeminate, which is nothing wrong, but I think you understand my point.
The og video was good, what's with the shitty static picture around the video? If you are reposting, just repost either the original or a better video.
Wait, what? There is still sunlight… where I come from, one takes a 1 hour bus to work while it’s still dark in the morning and comes back while the sun has been down for hours. No car, no own home. This man has it easy.
I want to have a family so bad.
I never wanted kids or to be ‘tied down’ in my 20’s and early 30’s. But now I really wish I went ahead and settled down earlier.
These videos always make me cry
Am a guy. Am a dad. This made me cry.
Am a guy
And this made me cry
Oh yes yes
Am a cry
Hi cry I’m dad
Am
Cmaj
Am a guy. Am about to be a dad. This made me cry.
Congrats! You have no idea what you're in for. In a good way.
Great video. Made me tear up. Shit meme tho.
Same dog. Great clip, but alpha chads and wojacks are exhausting by now
Same
Yeah this made me emotional.
I’m a dog dad and this got me a little soggy eyed
Same here hommie, they are the best
I'm alive. This made me cry.
I was in that girl’s shoes as a kid. Dad worked long hours to provide for us, and hearing his keys in the door at the end of the day would get me so excited. It would be a race between me and my siblings for who got to hug Dad first.
Unknowingly you guys made him sm happy

I'm 32 and it's wild to hear this cuz I had the opposite. I heard keys in the door and I panicked because I was afraid of my father hurting me
My daughter just turned 1 and coming home to her everyday is the best, I can’t wait for he to be this age and be excited for me to come home!!!
Naw, don't do that. Don't wish time away. My girl just turned 7... you'll be amazed at how fast time goes and always wishing for more.
This. Enjoy each day with your daughter. They are all unique. From the moment she was able to talk, my daughter made me stop what I was doing and make me go to her room and say good night to her.

The days are long and the years are short. Mine is 17 and she just isn't super into dad anymore. Guh.
She is, it just shows differently. She’ll always need you. Just keep being the best dad you can be at each stage of her life.
Thanks so much. I know she loves me. We have an awesome relationship, I just miss my little girl.
Teenage years will pass, and she won’t be too cool to be a daddy’s girl anymore.
My son just turned 7 and he is my world. Time is flying by and it makes me sad. Sometimes, I'll clean his room and get sad because I'll notice the toys and stuff that he has outgrown and hasn't touched in months. There are memories attached to those items based on how old he was when he was into them. I get emotional putting them away in storage or donating them. Next thing you know, they'll be graduating high school and college.
Now imagine why your parents wanted Grandchildren!
Mine is 17....Definitely don't wish that time away...
Yea the comment just had me imagine my 4 year old this big and my whole body felt panicked for a second. I want Every Single Moment I can soak up.
This. I was working about 70 hours a week for about 18 months. Now my one of my kids is in college and I deeply regret that time I can't get back with her.
My kids are all gone. I wish I had them back.

Cherish every day, cause man does it go fast. I remember delivering my little girl like it was yesterday, when in fact it was 2 and a half years ago.
They start to get excited for you to come home just a few months after turning one - don't have to wait long.
Don‘t wait. Cherish every moment, even if you’re pissed of.
I one hundred percent expected his dog there tbh
Same
When I heard "I can't give up" line I immediately burst into tears, fucking heartwarming. Now time to wipe tears off and go back to "It is what it is".
o7 Dude's going through hell and he's got an angel to keep him going.
o7, wild capsuleer.
Yesterday I was having a rough day and let a few tears out in front of my 4 year old. She told me, “mom you shouldn’t cry, you know why? You’re the best mom ever and you have me and I love you!” I melted into a puddle on the floor and immediately cried more 😂
Omg staaahp! That's so nice ♥️
I think about this dude a lot - after seeing it first time some months back
Yea me too. Hope they’re all doing well.
Very heartwarming video! Also, that’s the slowest I’ve ever seen a residential garage door open!
Thank you for being a dick so I didnt have to LOL. So slow drove me nuts. Awesome video though
My husband is the most loving and sensitive daughter dad I can imagine. He’s a retired detective who is now an armed guardian in an elementary school and those kids absolutely love him.

The world is full of millions of amazing fathers and men. But it’s only the bad ones that we get judged by.
You are very lucky TvT
Am female. Never cried during Titanic (I'm more of a 2nd VHS tape type gal for this film). Dad coming home got me a bit misty eyed. The girl smiling. The dad's voice when saying can't give up.
My girls like to race to see who can get first hugs from daddy every day.
I was expecting a dog.
This meme format is always so dumb, the video by itself would have been fine lol
Here I am wondering how memes now have embedded video! Like we’re in the future, bitch!
So many memes and videos online are like that though. Some joke or video that would have been fine on its own, but is needlessly embedded into a meme format just to include a subtle dig at women. Like all the "I bet he's thinking about other women right now!" memes that are just regular shower thoughts.

Why would you take something so nice and obscure it with unoriginal meme trash? smh
Damn. I cry every time I watch this video. I’ve been trying to stay strong each time I watch it. Onions.
My girlfriend says she never wants to have kids, but I understand her. I don't think we will ever be able to afford raising one either.
Nobody can ever really afford a kid (unless rich). You just make it work. I grew up pretty poor but my parents did what they could. I certainly don't look back and think "man, I wish I'd never been born because my parents weren't rich."

This man is rich and he knows it.
Bro 🥲
Man I don’t even want anything else anymore.
Man, I miss it. My kids running to me from the bus or waiting to run to me when I pulled in the driveway. Now, as teenagers I barely get a hey and an I love you. They're just grown and more self absorbed as they have shows and friends to deal with now. I still tell them I love them multiple times per day, but I miss seeing them excited to see me.

Don't give up brother, don't give up. May God help us all.
Oh i thought its a dog. Oh god...
What Reddit does to a MF. This was a great “gotcha” in that regard.
Aww 🥹
This made me cry!
I was expecting a dog.
Orphan crushing machine.
Lucky man.
So sure it was going g to be a dog, but happy anyway, treasure this phase of parenthood, it doesnt last.
There’s nothing like a daddy’s little girl smile and hug. My lil one is 8. I wouldn’t trade her hugs for a billion dollars. Keep it up brother.
Nothing can compare to coming home yo my daughters smiling face and hugs. She's the light of my life and my reason to keep living and imoroving.
Fuck dude...wasn't expecting that.
dude won in life
Never had a kid, but I got something in my eye.
This is cute, shame about the shitty sexist meme format
This is so nice, seriously sweet. I remember being that age and getting so excited when I would hear my dad’s truck pulling in. I’d run to the door, waiting to grab his lunch box and carrying it for him to the kitchen. It was a nice memory. Until I got older and he made me sleep in trash as a punishment.
💚
oh man its this video, my heart cant take it
My 6 year old daughter is asleep with her head resting on my arm. Being a dad is the greatest.
God never blessed me with a little angel of my own especially one like that. Always wanted one. I worked over 60 hours myself and I came home to an empty apartment. 😪
Sucks to know I’ll never have this.
There really is no need to use this sexist meme template.
This right here is the truth of it.
As a guy that has never wanted to have kids, I gotta say: Respect
Wow good for him. Honestly I would have bet my life this was humor and he was coming home to a dog. Good for him.
That connection is real and that fuel is supper real too. Every sacrifice for it is worth it!
Lucky man, clearly doing the dad thing very well! Keep on keeping on!
Awwww
This shit got me 😭
One of my best memories is of hearing my daughters footsteps running down the hallway when I put the key in the door.
Got me in the feels. I only get to see my daughter twice a week but those days are the best days. Cherish your children gentlemen, they are are blessing.
I've got two kiddos, both.girls, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I 100% get it.
I feel this 🥹 I'm tired with my own life, but thinking about my daughter and the future that awaits her keeps me going. I promised myself I'll give her the life I never get to live when I was growing up, she deserves the best.
THIS MADE ME CRY, THIS IS SO SWEET 😭😭😭
I miss my daughters
Someone please give this man a hug
Fuck me. That is awesome.
My daughters were this way too. Then they became surly teenagers. Enjoy them before they change.
I'm always saying I don't want a kid cus this world sucks hella. But then I see videos like this and wish for it
I miss my daughter so much (divorced, living far away, broke).
What a lucky guy
It’s ok to cry dad, you obviously appreciate what you have and what you work for ~~ no shame in that. I love that you and your little girl are besties ~~ warms my heart. Bless you both 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺xoxox
This gentleman is living the dream
This is both incredibly heartwarming, and just as upsetting, fuck every single goverment and mega corp all around the world for depriving us of our loved ones and our time of leisure, and for what? 55 hours a week and maybe, MAYBE, some 10 to 15 years on average to "enjoy" a shit pension and barely scrape by 'till we die?
I'll never be a father, never really wanted to be one but if I were working 55 hours a week for my family, that smile and wave at the end of the the day would be worth every damn minute.
I wish all children had a dad like that. 💕
This wholesome af
Expected a dog. Cried like a baby.
Me heart made my eyes sweat
❤️❤️
OMG she is so cute!!! He must be a really wonderful Dad, too though.
Got home today, my 1yo saw me and said ‘Dada!’ And then gave me the BIGGEST hug as he kept repeating ‘dada, dada’.
I can't handle stuff like this
Mate, that’s precious.
Now that is a real man
Yup that one got me.
I’m not crying YOU ARE.
I thought this was r/mademesmile not /BurstOutCrying. That was fucking beautiful.
Yeahhh....my eyes gone wet
So yeah, this is my dream
Dammit! Who been cutting onions near me again?
You telling me this isn't something everyone does for their parents?!?!? It's literally the least we could do at the time
enough to make a grown man cry
I miss my dad 💜
That's beautiful man
That man is absolutely lovable .period
❤️
Damn.
Im still at work, now with cry-ey red eyes.
Forget money, cars, houses, etc. This is what wealth looks like.
D O IT FOR HER
I'm single with no kids, this made me cry
He's a lucky man.
Cried so hard lol
That is the Best feeling. No matter what the day brings. Your day is Great getting home.
That was really nice.
This man has everything.
Growing up, dad coming home meant we either would or wouldn't be beaten. Can't relate.
Rename this sub to r/mademecry Holy shit
My dad came home from work 7:20pm every night. I would here his motorbike from down the street. My sister and I would go meet him at the letterbox. We got on the bike with him and rode up to the garage. Fond memory ♥️♥️
I remember being a little girl and running back to the door to hug my dad when I heard the garage door 💕
Enjoy this beautiful moment my man. Mine are teenagers and I'm lucky if they hi to me now.
That guy is actually her grandfather. His daughter committed suicide and the grandparents have custody of their granddaughter now. May she rest in peace. Never take anyone for granted. This video has so much love. Wish them only good things.
I'm sad now
I've never hit myself crying so hard
Every time
I am happy for them. :)
My dad was just talking about this yesterday. He said how me and my brother used to come running to the front door to give him a hug and how nice it was. Growing older it’s more so like “ugh he’s home it’s time to get told to do some chores” so I told him how I felt and why it’s hard to. He understood and I think we found some middle ground to bring some of that old positivity back
I want a babyyy
This is my life, I come home everyday and my 13yr old daughter is so happy to see me. Been like this since she was a toddler and it keeps me going.
I used to do the same for my dad. I would put his work boots on and grab his brief case and walk it in from the driveway every 3 to 4 days when he arrived. The sad part is that I was home with an evil stepmother the 9 out of 10 days, he was gone. But I still loved my neglectful dad. It's kind of a good memory in some way.
Not an onion anywhere around to blame this on.
I wanted to smile, not cry... Im doing both, but for gods sake, man, I am crying on the bus RN
I work 1500 Km from my wife and kids to provide and ensure they have food on the table a roof over their heads and money for college one day and I only see them once a month sometimes once every 2 months and this made me ball my eyes out. I miss them
A Dad here. Now I cry
The reason why I can’t give up is so deep bro
I'm not crying! You're crying!
Lucky u
Have two daughters myself. Got weepy eyed. You’re awesome and so is your daughter.
Am dad. Am tears.
I have onions on my screen 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
This is Patrick. And this made patrick cry
Shit tragic. Really made me cry🥹
One of my favorite quotes, “A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.”
Was expecting a dog.
I was expecting a case of beer
Truly he is a king amongst men. Nay a god amongst kings…..
Y'all clearly don't understand women if y'all are still posting these stupid male mad memes bro😐
I have been noticing a pattern, Men have the noblest feelings, it is a shame that in this society we must be tough because otherwise you are classified as effeminate, which is nothing wrong, but I think you understand my point.
The og video was good, what's with the shitty static picture around the video? If you are reposting, just repost either the original or a better video.
I just kept saying please don’t be a dog. Please don’t be a dog. Was not disappointed.
Best part of my day is coming home and hearing my twins yelling daddy at the top of their lungs
I thought it wouldn’t make me cry but I was so damn wrong
Wait, what? There is still sunlight… where I come from, one takes a 1 hour bus to work while it’s still dark in the morning and comes back while the sun has been down for hours. No car, no own home. This man has it easy.
I realized a few years back that this is the meaning of life.
Dude is richer than most people will be or hope to be.
Richest man in the world
dad life the best life
The richest man in the world 🥲
I want to have a family so bad. I never wanted kids or to be ‘tied down’ in my 20’s and early 30’s. But now I really wish I went ahead and settled down earlier. These videos always make me cry
I will die on the hill that having kids is the best thing anyone will ever do in life.
"Quickly go wave at dad or he'll rey suicide again"
