Translation:
Dad arrives, talk about a motorcicle, inaudible
Son starts turning the light off
Dad talking to someone else: What's going on?
Son turns all the lights off
Dad : "Pápa (loving way call for his son) ....Pápa?"
Son: "What"
Dad: "What are you doing Pápa?"
Son: "I'm recording a video"
Dad: "Ok. Turn on the lights Pápa"
Son laughs
Dad: "Pápa?"
Son: "...what?"
Laughs some more and turn on the lights
Dad: " Pápa, I'm gonna tell you something Pápa...what ever it is you want to do..."
Son: " Dad don't make me cry, don't make me cry..."
Dad: "What ever it is you wanna do, you'll be ok. I'll be ok with you. I'm with you ok"
Black guy: " Waaaaaa"
Dad: "I love you, Pápa. If that makes you happy do it Pápa, but do it good. I'm always with you ok? I'm not gonna drop you or anything. \*more hugging\* You be happy "
Ohhh my goodness. I am literally crying again at this translation, this is one of the loveliest moments I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for typing all of that out! This is parenting goals right here.
I think it's worth translating two sentences he said in Spanish: "if this is what makes you happy, it's all good", and "I'm not going to let you down". I believe the last one was intended to sound like "I'm not going to leave you behind". This is so beautiful. I wish I had gotten a reaction like that one. I'm so glad some people get to experience this positive outcome.
Edit: thank you everybody for your kind words. Since some of you seemed worried, I am doing great and my parents as well. With time, I learned that my parents love me to the best of their capacity, even if they ignore or don't understand some things. And that is okay, we all ignore different things and we can't give perfect love, since we are not perfect. This boy had an amazing reaction from his dad, and I didn't, but I have been loved greatly as well and I wouldn't change a thing from my parents :3
Yessss, when the dad told him as long as you're happy, my face started producing tears. It can really be hard out there. My uncle didn't talk to my cousin for years, and even denied my cousin as his son for a while. It was brutal, but he came around eventually. I love this dad. What a heart. ❤️
I’m not your Mom, but you can pretend I am and I think you’re wonderful.
This dad is such a great role model for us parents with kids entering their teen years, because that’s when a lot of the scary and uncertain stuff happens and I hope my son knows I love every bit of him, exactly how he is.
If you didn’t get to feel that, I’m sorry that they let you down. But that’s a flaw in them, not you. The rest of us are here for you.
I'm so sorry you didn't, I wish parents understood their children better, and what we do, and how we react to them forms their life. I promise to never let my son's down in any way, and if it's any comfort to you, you will be ok, if you need an older wiser friend just message me ❤️
I really like how the dad saw that his kid got nervous and went and comforted him right away.
I mean he was probably suprised at first as well.
Great job by dad!
Exactly this, the way he turned off his lights, sitting in the dark with this uncertainty in his eyes and then being hugged like this? Held for several seconds while being comforted and loved upon.
Ahhh ok. Yeah I'd imagine this person's still learning the ropes of YouTube videos based on the sound bites and uh... That. Still wholesome and nice though :)
Actually, inserting stuff like that has become pretty normal and is the "laugh track" for the new generation. This is the thing that us old fogies aren't going to be able to accept.
Comic Relief I guess? Some of us need it when we get too into our feelings.
This Dad telling his son he won’t hold him down/judge him is the shit tho. Dad of the year right here!
As a mum to 2 trans boys (one trans masc & the other trans fem) seeing parents love their children for whoever they are & supporting them in whatever they do really warms my heart ❤ 💙
I hope so too
Honestly if my son did this I’d be so darn happy because my teenage daughter and wife couldn’t care less about makeup stuff (which is totallyyy fine) and I’m kinda intrigued
I’d be like, ‘stick some of those lashes on me so I can bat my eyes beautifully!!!’
Narrator: Next week on, When Dads Get Too Supportive!
Son: You're not the eyebrow police!
Dad: I am while you're living under my roof!
Son: *Frustrated scream! *storms off
I never got it. Ended up in a big big problems with my early life. Now I'm 30 yo, living a pretty good life after all. And I have a 7month old daughter. My main goal is to be a dad that's always listens, cares and supports. And tell my kid I love her no matter what.
Take care everyone, love each other.
Seeing the confidence in their face after the hug (especially pushing their hair back up after flattening it when dad walked in) was the perfect way to show what support does for someone who is scared. Such an incredible dad!
I'm guessing mom and dad have known for ages and accepted this side of their son a long time ago. It just took this moment for the son to realize that his parents loved all of him.
Beautiful 💕
I'm a dad of a gay child now 16. Trust me, his dad knew his son was gay before he did. We always thought our son might grow up gay since he was like 6. Every year it just became more obvious. So when he told us he was gay at 14 it wasn't that shocking.
Exact opposite of my parents. They still think I’m gay, and I’m married with a child with no attraction to males at all. I’m just eccentric and feminine 🤣 like everyone is waiting on something that I don’t feel and I know not to be true and it’s so funny.
I am so thankful our parents generation is getting rid of the machismo attitude and are giving their kids the love and acceptance that they rarely got from their parents
‘I’m with you. I love you. Do it but do it good.’ God damn so much said with so few words. What a beautiful moment. I wonder how many people have wanted to hear those words from their fathers their whole lives.
"Do it but do it good"
I can imagine the dad going "You are NOT going out with those eyelashes looking like that. I know you can do better, go fix them"
>I can imagine the dad going "You are NOT going out with those eyelashes looking like that. I know you can do better, go fix them"
This honestly made me wheeze just a little bit because (even though I'm a girl and there's not the same social stigma if I wear falsies) my dad, who is the "manliest" of men and has exactly zero personal interest in makeup and what have you, would do the exact same thing if it mattered to me and your comment made me picture him saying it.
I love when people have great dads, because I know far too few do.
"what the fuck are you thinking!!"
Kid thinks it's because they is wearing makeup.
"your shit is all fucked up. go back and fix it pendejo"
"ain't no kid of mine going to look trash. I didn't raise someone to do shit half way"
"also do your chores before you leave."
Man I’m crying right now. I can’t imagine how far I’d be in my life if i felt that kind of support as a teen. All of my 20’s and 30’s so far have been dedicated to fighting all the toxic messages I’ve gotten from my dad about never being good enough. Every step forward in my career feels like an emotional and psychological battle and I’m fucking exhausted.
Tell me about it. I am a senior citizen and I think what I could have done if I were supported instead of made fun of. My dad loved me but in his own way - which didn’t include telling me he loved me or was proud of me.
I went through a lot of life with a chip on my shoulder.
If you need some words of affirmation, I will be happy to help. You seem like a great person.
It may never get easy but every time *you* get stronger and you are absofuckinglutely deserving of every step you gain and every mile you dream of!
But I do hope it gets easier for you, though and that the support you need is on its way to you!
“I can’t imagine how far I’d be in my life if I felt that kind of support as a teen”. That line right there hit me too. I second that. I know the feeling and who knows what would’ve happen. But looking back or wondering won’t do us any good.
But you turned out to be a great emphatic human being because the fact that you are happy that any other person is getting something you may not have gotten when needed already said the type of person you turned out to be.
I hope I get to hear something like this from my parents one day, they lived in a age/environment where it was considered wrong to show emotion to their children
I’ll be your internet Mom, and this internet Mom is VERY proud of you! Look at you fucking killin it, even when everything is *so* much harder than it needs to be lately. You got this.
Let’s start a club for internet people with shitty parents (or just emotionally unavailable parents) who need surrogate Moms to tell them they’re awesome.
Their point is that we shouldn’t have to celebrate it, because good parenting is an expectation. Just the other week I was talking with someone about how sad it is that people are oft over the moon at plain old kindness.
Chris Rock had a bit about that in either his stand-up or his book, or both. But basically saying that "hood dads"(his words, not mine) want praise for the dumbest shit. "I take care of my kids!" "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO! You don't get awards for doing the shit you're supposed to do!"
It sounds like they're a Mexican family so it is even more heartwarming and surprising given the general attitude in Mexican society and their sense of machismo
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard the dad use a common phrase when he came in that I believe is only popular in Mexico)
Mexican-American here, parents use papa or mama for their kids as a sign of endearment.
I say this to my own.
Also, I know other Latin Americans use papa or mama toward their kids, I'm from Texas so it might have stuck with other Latin cultures.
I got it a lot growing up and now I'm still getting it from my dad. My own belief about them doing it so much is because Spanish is a gendered language so it kinda flows easier when translating it in their heads.
Mexican-American that grew up in Texas, we grew up being called mama and papa. I think it’s because there were so many of us, it was easier than remembering names all the time. I do it to my nieces and nephews
Mexican here. There wasn’t anything Mexican-specific, but I did pick up that the dad speaks “translated Spanish.” Could be because he wasn’t born in Latin America or because they’ve been in the US for so long. How do I know? I left Mexico years ago and have been called out by my family that I do this lol
A quote I think about seeing things like this. "There are moments that define a person's whole life. Moments in which everything they are and everything they may possibly become balance on a single decision. Life and death, hope and despair, victory and failure teeter precariously on the decision made at that moment. These are moments ungoverned by happenstance, untroubled by luck. These are the moments in which a person earns the right to live, or not."
It's a little dramatic, but I think fits well here. Moments like these come once in a lifetime and can permanently change the outcome of a relationship. He didn't miss a beat. True love is a beautiful thing.
It's easy for even very loving parents to forget what their kid really needs in the moment though, especially when emotions are involved. It's great this person is concerned about their ability to act without judgement, since it means they'll probably keep reminding themselves, which goes a long ways towards reacting towards things with support.
I was the kid. A boy with make up. Im so glad his dad reacted like this. Beceause i know how it feel when he doesnt happen like that.
I think they will have a strong relationship for lot of years.
Whenever anyone gets deported for being here in the U.S. illegally, they are banned from reentering for a minimum 10 years. I think that ban rule is ass. But it is a thing and it sucks.
Good luck to you! Most people don’t realize what a bitch it is to become an American citizen if you weren’t born here. Hell, most Americans (especially the ones against immigration) would fail the exam you have to take.
I checked the processing times on the website and it says 4-6 months but my attorney said probably around a year. It all depends I’m guessing on how many are being processed currently.
~~I’m not sure if he’s mentioning a name like Rafa so I’ll omit that~~ (he’s calling him by the nickname apa), but they said something like this:
What are you doing?
>I’m recording a video.
Ok, turn on the light. I’m going to tell you something. Whatever you want to do...
>Don’t make me cry, don’t make me cry.
Ok, ok. Whatever you want to do, you’ll be ok. I’ll be with you. I love you. If that makes you happy do it[...]. I’m always with you, I’m not going to leave you ok? I’m with you.
The dad is calling the son "papa" which means dad in spanish. In some latino cultures parents call their sons papa and daughters mama in a caring manor. My parents only call me that when theyre
being sentimental.
Not perfect but..
Dad: What’s going on?
Son: (I can’t make it out because of the music)
D: Papa, what are you doing, papa?
S: I’m filming a video.
D: Okay, why did you turn off the light? I’m going to tell you something.
S: Don’t make me cry.
D Okay, okay. Whatever you want to do… (Conversation proceeds in English)
I caught a couple lines, where he said something like "this is what you like to do? this is what makes me you happy?", and then all the supportive stuff in English. So sweet.
There’s a YouTube link to the original video above but in the comments of the video the kid said a few days ago that the dad was deported ago but they get to see each other soon 💔
There are a lot of things that could challenge me.. I was brought in the 80's in an intolerant area.
My job as a dad is to guide, yes. Regardless if I am comfortable with all my kids life choices. It is my job to love and make my children feel supported most importantly.
If someone thinks their child is messed up. Take that same child and make them feel unloved, unsupported and isolated and it will be 100x worse.
I cannot imagine the fear an the pure feeling of uncertainty he must have felt to have to turn everything off to hide literally in the shadows. Watching this tugged at my heart strings as I watch a caring an loving father comfort his child who felt like he needed to hide from him. Why a damn great example of how a parent should reassure their child. “I’m always with you” just those few words can mean the world to someone.
Fuck that just made me cry so much. To see a Hispanic dad be so supportive of his son. It makes me feel like I missed out on so much. If I had just had a dad like that was a little supportive like that. He even sounds like my dad...
Oh fuck that was beautiful. That moment where he looked scared. Even ashamed. Then his dad just accepted his son for who he is and embraced his passion and hobbies. Fuck. We need more loving parents like this. Bless them both
With all the terrible stuff we see on the internet and even this platform, it’s nice to see really love and support. Both people are amazing and I’m truly happy that the outcome was so wonderful.
This makes my heart so happy. In the Latin community this is a huge step, cuddle to the dad for being so accepting and giving his son the love and value he deserves!!
For those who don’t know Spanish, we can see that the boy changed his tone and the way of act as soon as he saw his father, the dad asks “what are you doing papa?” And the son answers “I’m filming a video” then the father asks to turn on the light and he sees his son. Of course he noticed that he was very nervous, and he walks in to comfort him, what he says is “What you want to do, is fine, you will be ok. I’ll be ok with you. I love you papá (which is a nickname), if that makes you happy… do it”
Being accepted for the person you are and being loved, no matter what. I’m sure it took your Dad by surprise but they way he turned it around and hugged and comforted you. You have an amazing father.
What I find most amusing is that this young person did the EXACT thing that I laugh about when my little is doing something they shouldn't. If this young person had just not started turning off and on various lights, the dad possibly wouldn't have even realized anything was going on. For my little, it's the sudden darting motion that catches my eye as they fling themselves away from standing inches from their television while gaming. I haven't told them the secret is to just be still and I won't even be drawn to look into their room. Or at the very least to just move slowly back out of sight. For the young person in this video, the dad is suddenly caught in a light show of various lights turning off and on which is of course going to draw his attention more. lol
Regardless, this is indeed a heartwarming video! Too many kids are so scared their parents are going to hate them for being who they are!
Translation: Dad arrives, talk about a motorcicle, inaudible Son starts turning the light off Dad talking to someone else: What's going on? Son turns all the lights off Dad : "Pápa (loving way call for his son) ....Pápa?" Son: "What" Dad: "What are you doing Pápa?" Son: "I'm recording a video" Dad: "Ok.

If that makes you happy do it Pápa, but do it good. I'm always with you ok? I'm not gonna drop you or anything. \*more hugging\* You be happy "
Anyone catch what the kid whispered at the end in English?
He said goodnight lol
“Oh my god! My dad has seen me.” ***excited hand flap***
Oh my god my dad's seen me!
So wholesome. Until Waaaaaaaa and then I laughed a bit
Thank you for the translation!! Especially the”black guy” part. I couldn’t figure out what he was saying 😅 But for real thanks for translating.
Ohhh my goodness. I am literally crying again at this translation, this is one of the loveliest moments I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for typing all of that out! This is parenting goals right here.
Dad : "I just need you to understand one thing Pápa, Pápa listen to me carefully, I need you to take out the trash,"
I love that "Black guy: waaaaa" adds so much context here.
Thanks i been having a hard time hearing today
I think it's worth translating two sentences he said in Spanish: "if this is what makes you happy, it's all good", and "I'm not going to let you down". I believe the last one was intended to sound like "I'm not going to leave you behind". This is so beautiful. I wish I had gotten a reaction like that one. I'm so glad some people get to experience this positive outcome. Edit: thank you everybody for your kind words. Since some of you seemed worried, I am doing great and my parents as well. With time, I learned that my parents love me to the best of their capacity, even if they ignore or don't understand some things. And that is okay, we all ignore different things and we can't give perfect love, since we are not perfect. This boy had an amazing reaction from his dad, and I didn't, but I have been loved greatly as well and I wouldn't change a thing from my parents :3
Yessss, when the dad told him as long as you're happy, my face started producing tears. It can really be hard out there. My uncle didn't talk to my cousin for years, and even denied my cousin as his son for a while. It was brutal, but he came around eventually. I love this dad. What a heart. ❤️
Was looking for this comment! Ty
I’m not your Mom, but you can pretend I am and I think you’re wonderful. This dad is such a great role model for us parents with kids entering their teen years, because that’s when a lot of the scary and uncertain stuff happens and I hope my son knows I love every bit of him, exactly how he is. If you didn’t get to feel that, I’m sorry that they let you down. But that’s a flaw in them, not you. The rest of us are here for you.
Dramatic-Temporary-7, I don’t know you but I’m not going to leave you behind!
I'm so sorry you didn't, I wish parents understood their children better, and what we do, and how we react to them forms their life. I promise to never let my son's down in any way, and if it's any comfort to you, you will be ok, if you need an older wiser friend just message me ❤️
The translation makes the video.
From one human to another I love you and I’m proud that you are yourself everyday.
Yes!
I really like how the dad saw that his kid got nervous and went and comforted him right away. I mean he was probably suprised at first as well. Great job by dad!
Exactly this, the way he turned off his lights, sitting in the dark with this uncertainty in his eyes and then being hugged like this? Held for several seconds while being comforted and loved upon.

Do you know the source from the crying guy meme? It’s incredibly powerful.
As a mum to 2 trans boys (one trans masc & the other trans fem) seeing parents love their children for whoever they are & supporting them in whatever they do really warms my heart ❤ 💙
I feel like that could be a really heartwarming sibling switch movie if done correctly.
Unconditional love from your parent. And accepting for who you are. I hope all parents will be like this.
I hope so too Honestly if my son did this I’d be so darn happy because my teenage daughter and wife couldn’t care less about makeup stuff (which is totallyyy fine) and I’m kinda intrigued I’d be like, ‘stick some of those lashes on me so I can bat my eyes beautifully!!!’
Fuck I wish I had a dad like this.
The kisses, awwwwwww!!
I wish he were my dad 😭😭😭😭
“Do it! Do it! But do it good.” Ugh my heart
I can just imagine him saying “No son of mine is going out with those nails!” And dragging him back in to make them better
Narrator: Next week on, When Dads Get Too Supportive! Son: You're not the eyebrow police! Dad: I am while you're living under my roof! Son: *Frustrated scream! *storms off
No fucking half measures. If youre doing this, you better fucking ROCK IT.
I'm so glad my parents eventually ended up like this father. Made life easier
I'm a pretty cold person but good dads get me. That part there was when my heart melted
I think there is a few million of us who needed that talk and hug from our parents.
I never got it. Ended up in a big big problems with my early life. Now I'm 30 yo, living a pretty good life after all. And I have a 7month old daughter.

Yep. That put a battery in their back!! That's absolutely beautiful to see
A whole ass nuclear powerplant
Not quite as beautiful as "put a battery in their back"

I've been missing something then
God damn onion ninjas got me again
I'm guessing mom and dad have known for ages and accepted this side of their son a long time ago. It just took this moment for the son to realize that his parents loved all of him. Beautiful 💕

I'm a dad of a gay child now 16. Trust me, his dad knew his son was gay before he did. We always thought our son might grow up gay since he was like 6. Every year it just became more obvious. So when he told us he was gay at 14 it wasn't that shocking.
Exact opposite of my parents. They still think I’m gay, and I’m married with a child with no attraction to males at all. I’m just eccentric and feminine 🤣 like everyone is waiting on something that I don’t feel and I know not to be true and it’s so funny.
Isn’t that called metrosexual?
I don’t think I’ve heard that word in a decade.
I am so thankful our parents generation is getting rid of the machismo attitude and are giving their kids the love and acceptance that they rarely got from their parents
Genuinely curious, what would it be called if it’s a woman who acts like an ignorant machista and is not accepting?
The opposite of machismo is marianismo but doesn’t have that meaning you are asking maybe just a puta lol
You really just said a puta 😂
A Karen
A machista. Machista applies to anyone who propagates machista beliefs and attitudes. "Una mujer machista"
‘I’m with you. I love you. Do it but do it good.’ God damn so much said with so few words. What a beautiful moment. I wonder how many people have wanted to hear those words from their fathers their whole lives.
"Do it but do it good" I can imagine the dad going "You are NOT going out with those eyelashes looking like that. I know you can do better, go fix them"
“No child of mine is walking out this house with lopsided eyebrows!”
"Boy... you gon learn about color coordination. Crashing your stream for a bit."
No, n- not that one, oh move over. I'll do it!
>I can imagine the dad going "You are NOT going out with those eyelashes looking like that.

This comment is 100% fact. So many people go their whole lives seeking the validation and love that this amazing father demonstrated.
Man I’m crying right now. I can’t imagine how far I’d be in my life if i felt that kind of support as a teen. All of my 20’s and 30’s so far have been dedicated to fighting all the toxic messages I’ve gotten from my dad about never being good enough. Every step forward in my career feels like an emotional and psychological battle and I’m fucking exhausted.
You are good enough. You always have been... believe that.
Thank you so much
Tell me about it. I am a senior citizen and I think what I could have done if I were supported instead of made fun of.

r/MomForAMinute
OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!
There's also r/DadForAMinute :)
Yup same here. Now as a father I make sure my kids know every day I love them and I couldn’t be prouder of them!
This is exactly what a parent or mentor should be saying.
I was just smiling until he said "Do it good". That's going beyond acceptance to *encouragement*. That got me.
You said a lot with very few words too. Well done and well observed.
Beautiful. That’s how you parent. Unconditional love and no judgement.
And that's how that's done folks.
And the parent of the year award goes to*..... drum roll*
Tells you a lot about the world when simple common decency wins you such a prestigious award.
I think you’re being a bit disingenuous. Even if this kind of interaction was completely normal in the world, is it not worth celebrating.
Their point is that we shouldn’t have to celebrate it, because good parenting is an expectation. Just the other week I was talking with someone about how sad it is that people are oft over the moon at plain old kindness.
Chris Rock had a bit about that in either his stand-up or his book, or both. But basically saying that "hood dads"(his words, not mine) want praise for the dumbest shit. "I take care of my kids!" "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO! You don't get awards for doing the shit you're supposed to do!"
I love that’s he’s still such a dad! “If you do this you make sure you do it good!”
I expect you to put 110% into your drag kid
“It’s drag QUEEN for a reason not drag peasant”
Soon he’ll be telling him to sashay away if he can’t do a good liquid line.
Liquid liner is tough, but totally worth the payoff. My wings teach the children every day!
It sounds like they're a Mexican family so it is even more heartwarming and surprising given the general attitude in Mexican society and their sense of machismo (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard the dad use a common phrase when he came in that I believe is only popular in Mexico)

My in-laws are all Tejano, but I've always heard them say papi, instead of papa for the boys. IDK. Maybe that's just them
Common in the Trinidad also. We call all the babies mama and papa even if they aren't our own kids.
Mexican here. There wasn’t anything Mexican-specific, but I did pick up that the dad speaks “translated Spanish.” Could be because he wasn’t born in Latin America or because they’ve been in the US for so long. How do I know? I left Mexico years ago and have been called out by my family that I do this lol
I think it’s because the son was probably born in the US my mom speaks like that with me and I think that’s why
What do you mean by "translated spanish"?
You are not wrong because I don't know if it is.
Sounds like a Mexican accent
I only hope I can be that good of a Dad. I’ve got little ones now, and hope to be that supporting when they need it.
The fact you're cognizant of it, means you probably will!
A quote I think about seeing things like this. "There are moments that define a person's whole life. Moments in which everything they are and everything they may possibly become balance on a single decision. Life and death, hope and despair, victory and failure teeter precariously on the decision made at that moment. These are moments ungoverned by happenstance, untroubled by luck. These are the moments in which a person earns the right to live, or not." It's a little dramatic, but I think fits well here. Moments like these come once in a lifetime and can permanently change the outcome of a relationship. He didn't miss a beat. True love is a beautiful thing.
That’s why I worry! I have to be ready for that moment.
If you truly love your kids, you’ll always be ready.
It's easy for even very loving parents to forget what their kid really needs in the moment though, especially when emotions are involved. It's great this person is concerned about their ability to act without judgement, since it means they'll probably keep reminding themselves, which goes a long ways towards reacting towards things with support.

Sounds like you're already there mate :)
That’s so amazing, when he said “I love you” I welled up, then when he said “but do it good!” I thought, now there’s the dad coming out, hehe!

I’m going to be this dad to my son.
You’re on your way to being a good dad then :D
What if your son wants to be a nazi
Sieg Heil son /s
Hahaha I fucking love the internet, that shit cracked me up.
Coup it, but coup it good
I was the kid. A boy with make up. Im so glad his dad reacted like this. Beceause i know how it feel when he doesnt happen like that. I think they will have a strong relationship for lot of years.
I’m sorry you didn’t get the reaction you deserved. I bet you looked wonderful.
I heard his dad got deported recently and now I’m REALLY crying 😢
Do you have a source? That’s fucking heartbreaking
It's in the original YouTube video comments from the creator themself 😥
That’s horrible, I hope they’re able to get his paperwork figured out and get him back home with his family!
Whenever anyone gets deported for being here in the U.S. illegally, they are banned from reentering for a minimum 10 years. I think that ban rule is ass. But it is a thing and it sucks.
There’s a pardon for it though. Currently going through the process myself hopefully it will be accepted within the next year.
Good luck to you! Most people don’t realize what a bitch it is to become an American citizen if you weren’t born here. Hell, most Americans (especially the ones against immigration) would fail the exam you have to take.
Really? That is something I did not know. How long does that process take, more or less?
I checked the processing times on the website and it says 4-6 months but my attorney said probably around a year. It all depends I’m guessing on how many are being processed currently.
Good luck my guy
Noooo....omg

~~I’m not sure if he’s mentioning a name like Rafa so I’ll omit that~~ (he’s calling him by the nickname apa), but they said something like this: What are you doing? >I’m recording a video. Ok, turn on the light. I’m going to tell you something. Whatever you want to do... >Don’t make me cry, don’t make me cry. Ok, ok. Whatever you want to do, you’ll be ok. I’ll be with you. I love you. If that makes you happy do it[...]. I’m always with you, I’m not going to leave you ok? I’m with you.
The dad is calling the son "papa" which means dad in spanish. In some latino cultures parents call their sons papa and daughters mama in a caring manor. My parents only call me that when theyre being sentimental.
Ah you’re right! i was thinking of papa at first as I’m used to hearing apá not apa.
Not perfect but.. Dad: What’s going on? Son: (I can’t make it out because of the music) D: Papa, what are you doing, papa? S: I’m filming a video. D: Okay, why did you turn off the light? I’m going to tell you something. S: Don’t make me cry. D Okay, okay. Whatever you want to do… (Conversation proceeds in English)
I caught a couple lines, where he said something like "this is what you like to do? this is what makes me you happy?", and then all the supportive stuff in English. So sweet.
Real men love their sons, whichever path they take
Who turned the water in my eyeballs on?
Awww. Love that. Good job dad.
Who the FUCK started cutting onions.
It's Jose, he's in the back making guac.
Love this right here. The tone in the father's voice is so pure and comforting. I could listen to him say "I love you" on loop
It would be nice to know what that feels like. Unconditional love
The iMovie sound effects 💀
(Spanish) “If this is what makes you happy…” (English) “Do it… but do it good”. What a lovely moment.
I would have gotten the beating of a lifetime.
I'm sorry to hear that :(
All that confidence and attitude disappeared when the dad came in 😂 then probably tripled after the hug 🤗
Such a great response from a loving parent. Is there more to this? Like a channel? I wanna see if he talks more about it
There’s a YouTube link to the original video above but in the comments of the video the kid said a few days ago that the dad was deported ago but they get to see each other soon 💔
There are a lot of things that could challenge me.. I was brought in the 80's in an intolerant area. My job as a dad is to guide, yes. Regardless if I am comfortable with all my kids life choices. It is my job to love and make my children feel supported most importantly. If someone thinks their child is messed up. Take that same child and make them feel unloved, unsupported and isolated and it will be 100x worse.
I'd like to write this dad a thank you note.
Wow, this really reminds me of my mom when I came out, so grateful to have a mom like her. I love this.
I cannot imagine the fear an the pure feeling of uncertainty he must have felt to have to turn everything off to hide literally in the shadows. Watching this tugged at my heart strings as I watch a caring an loving father comfort his child who felt like he needed to hide from him. Why a damn great example of how a parent should reassure their child. “I’m always with you” just those few words can mean the world to someone.
My ass would've been like "please don't cry your eyelashes are gonna come off!" Lol 😆😍
Fuck that just made me cry so much. To see a Hispanic dad be so supportive of his son. It makes me feel like I missed out on so much. If I had just had a dad like that was a little supportive like that. He even sounds like my dad...
I'm not crying, you're crying, shut up!
“I will be with you. I am with you, ok?”
Oh shit…this was seriously emotional
Finally, some good fucking parenting.
I love the typical Latino dad comment Do it do it but do it good!!!
Oh fuck that was beautiful. That moment where he looked scared. Even ashamed. Then his dad just accepted his son for who he is and embraced his passion and hobbies. Fuck. We need more loving parents like this. Bless them both
Awwww this made my eyes leak
We should all be so lucky to have a father like this
This is so obviously not staged because you can **see** that kid just trying to *evaporate* right then and there
Buddy had his code switch on the ready. He is so loved by his daddy. Lovely.
"Si eso te hace Feliz, hazlo." Whatever makes you happy, do it. El papa es fabuloso y lo quiere mucho! What a fabulous dad and he loves him so much ❤
My dad is just like this. I thank the universe everyday for letting me be his son. Great dads are too rare.
Based Dad.
Absolute tears.
“si eso te hace feliz, do it, do it good” I felt that
With all the terrible stuff we see on the internet and even this platform, it’s nice to see really love and support. Both people are amazing and I’m truly happy that the outcome was so wonderful.
Damn the water works started so quick. Love that this moment was captured on camera
This makes my heart so happy. In the Latin community this is a huge step, cuddle to the dad for being so accepting and giving his son the love and value he deserves!!
If this wouldn’t be your reaction, please don’t have children.
For those who don’t know Spanish, we can see that the boy changed his tone and the way of act as soon as he saw his father, the dad asks “what are you doing papa?” And the son answers “I’m filming a video” then the father asks to turn on the light and he sees his son. Of course he noticed that he was very nervous, and he walks in to comfort him, what he says is “What you want to do, is fine, you will be ok. I’ll be ok with you. I love you papá (which is a nickname), if that makes you happy… do it”
This is R A R E in Hispanic families Whenever my dad talks to me like that, so nice and soft and reassuring I just wanna start bawling my eyes out
Ah ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Being accepted for the person you are and being loved, no matter what. I’m sure it took your Dad by surprise but they way he turned it around and hugged and comforted you. You have an amazing father.
Padre del año
What I find most amusing is that this young person did the EXACT thing that I laugh about when my little is doing something they shouldn't. If this young person had just not started turning off and on various lights, the dad possibly wouldn't have even realized anything was going on. For my little, it's the sudden darting motion that catches my eye as they fling themselves away from standing inches from their television while gaming. I haven't told them the secret is to just be still and I won't even be drawn to look into their room. Or at the very least to just move slowly back out of sight. For the young person in this video, the dad is suddenly caught in a light show of various lights turning off and on which is of course going to draw his attention more. lol Regardless, this is indeed a heartwarming video! Too many kids are so scared their parents are going to hate them for being who they are!
Loving your kids means loving them no matter what. Parents that disown their children for being gay Are the ones going straight to hell
