So many people were moved by this video, here's what they had to say:
“Any parent who struggles with making the time for these types of things; try your best to go. I got to live one of these types of moments, and have never missed another school event since. F**k the job, boss, and stress. A few times per year I am leaving early to watch my kid at school, and if that's not okay; fire me,” a Reddit user commented.
“My pa didn't show up for my show, teacher said I was the most intelligent student she ever had the honour of teaching and she wishes every student was like me, she said that in front of the whole school, but still, wanted my dad,” an Instagram user shared.
"When I was in second grade we had parents come in to see our progress and work we've done throughout the year. My mom was a single mom who worked really hard and couldn't come. I was the only kid there who didn't have a parent. My friends dad asked to see my folder, he was the only one who showed any interest. Otherwise, I just sat quietly alone at my desk watching everyone else with their parents. I understand why my mom couldn't be there, but now I'm 31 and thinking about it still makes my chest tight," says another Reddit user.
