“If You Felt Like You Had No One Cheering For You…” Heartwarming Dad Gives Every Graduate A Fanfare Of Applause

During some of life’s toughest moments, a showing of care and support from loved ones can make a world of difference. The same is also true of the best moments in life, like a graduation. It doesn’t matter if someone is graduating from kindergarten, high school, or college — this huge step forward in life deserves to be celebrated. At Cassandra’s own college graduation, her dad proved just how much he understands this to be true.

As you might expect, Dad went all out once it was Cassandra’s turn to walk across the stage. But here is the thing… he started to cheer long before his daughter’s name was announced. Why? Because he wanted to make sure that every single graduate had someone cheering them on that day. Witness this wholesome dad’s thoughtful gesture in the video below!

If Dad got tired from all of that cheering, it never showed. He continued to do so even after Cassandra walked across the stage. In this clip, we get a glimpse at some of the other graduating students. Turns out, a clip is all we need to see just how much they appreciate the love radiating from this caring dad.

Not everyone has someone to show up for them, for whatever reason, so little moments like this can mean a lot.

“As someone whose parents didn’t show up to her graduations, I always looked for someone in the crowd to be my ‘parent.’ This would have healed my broken heart,” someone in the comments shares. Another adds, “That’s a man who knows that just showing up matters. Even if he’s showing up for a total stranger.”
