We love sharing stories about moments of happiness. Whether it’s a mother realizing she’s getting a grandchild, a bunch of dogs jumping in a pile of leaves, or a formerly deaf baby hearing Mom’s voice for the first time… Happiness takes many forms! But, for one dad, there is no greater source of happiness in life than his young son.
Reddit user MegaJoshXÂ uploaded the following photos to imgur with a simple caption: “My Son and I are buds, and it’s the thing that makes me happiest.” The photos were just posted 1 day ago, but have already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times… As you can tell in the photos, this dad is his kid’s joy, too.

… the way these two look at each other is so heartwarming.
The photos have prompted hundreds of heartfelt comments. One user wrote, “Teacher here…I wish half my kids came from parents who look as amazing as the two of you. You can see so much love on all your faces. That boy is going to have a good life. It’s so nice to see a reminder that this still exists. Thank you.”

Another user added, “Hey man, I don’t know if you see this. But I just had to log in to tell you, that you are a wonderful father, and that you have a very cute kid. I can see the bond and connection that you two share, and the joy and love in the eyes of your son when he sees you! This is a goal that I’d like to achieve in life, too (If I ever have kids). Continue with what you’re doing. You can be proud of yourself!”

One commenter even said the photos inspired him to rethink his future and gave him hope! “What a great family. Growing up being the 3rd child and with my parents constantly arguing, looking at this actually made me want a family for once. He looks like you’re doing a great job op. Keep it up. I hope one day I’m half as good as you. ”
