Disturbingly, statistics according to the Washington Times show that about fifteen million U.S children or 1 out of every 3 children live without fathers even in this current time when the presence of a father figure in the life of children is becoming more pressingly needful.

Maybe this is the reason why the strangers really wanted to draw attention and appreciate the beautiful act by this young dad. The story also teaches that only if we stop to look, there are tons of goods happening around us in almost every situation just that most times, they are been overlooked. In our today society which is rapidly turning fatherless, there are dads who still shower their children with the love they deserve; these dads need all the recognition they deserve too.
