dad surprises son at his basketball game (Emotional Version) Surprise!

I love creating videos like these and being able to share it with others. I'm so blessed to be apart of this moment.This family had asked me to film their son's senior night basketball game. The son thinks I'm there to film a day in the life leading up to his game night but what he didnt know is that his dad was visiting out of state just to see him play for the first time and the moment is priceless! Check it out!

I wish they understood that. My son just turned 16 hasn't seen his dad in over 12 years. And before that only saw him 1 year. His dad has his phone number hasn't called him. It breaks my heart cause I know it breaks his. Especially since he sees my sons sisters. He one day was at my nephew's and his sister showed up. My son started to build his relationship with her. But he told me he saw that his dad was calling his sister. Broke my heart hearing him talk about it cause I know it hurt.

But what we DO know is the joy and love he had when he laid eyes on his Dad... with tears to back it up. He couldn’t get to him fast enough. That alone should tell you that if HE doesn’t hold any ill will or grudges against the Father that was out of HIS life.... Then why should you? None of us are perfect and never makes mistakes, not even you. The past is just that, the Past. You can’t change it.

[@Keepdapocket]

As a father, I have to give credit to the MOTHER!! I was very young when I had my first child. And, I tried everything under the sun to have a relationship with my first child; well into her 20's. I always thought she would understand once she would get older. Her mother's family were impossible to deal with. Told me they wish she wasn't mine, wish she had another father, etc. This was all to my face throughout her adolescent years. So, I could imagine what was being said behind the scenes. When she turned 23, I was married at that time for 9 years, and with a 7 and 4 years old. Yet and still, something was missing from my first born. I decided it was time to tell my side of the story, and just have an adult conversation since she was 23. So, I told her I would be in town and would like to take her to dinner. I stopped at my parents house and got the box my mama saved with all the documentatioms of the events throughout the years that included custody rejections three times, vocal recordings from when I tried to visit, and calendars from other events that took place. So, we went to dinner. I started it off by saying I would love to have her in our lives, but there are some things you truly need to know now that you're older. So, I started going through the box and pulling out those things. For each one, I explained what they were, and they were dated. Most of this happened in the 90's, so I had the college tape recorders we used to use. The response I got was, to say the least, took my breathe away. It literally made me speechless. She still blamed me for not being there. She blamed me for becoming a lawyer and getting married and having two other children who have everything in the world. She blamed me for everything. Basically said I didn't want her. At this point, since she spoke toe like a regular dude on the street, I was at my end from years of trying. I just went in. I said, a man who doesn't want their child wouldn't go for custody three times. A man who doesn't want their child wouldn't have taken the verbal abuse, and show up to every so for birthday party, sporting event, recital, graduation, etc. I didn't miss one thing, did I? She said no. Then I continued, a man who didn't want their child wouldn't have bought them a brand new car for their 16th birthday even though they didn't deserve it. So, while I was not perfect and implicit in things when I was younger, I was more mature once I passed my bar to go for custody. So, you're too old not to understand these things. Your mother wasn't the one that raised you. Your grandmother did. So, you need to start blaming the real person, and recognized what I went through and still tried being there every step of the way. But, since you cant., I wash my hands of it. I'm done. You're grown and won't change. If you ever decide to recognize the real deal, I'm always here. I'm going to make you copies of everything in this box and send them to you. One day you'll realize I much I loved you and tried my hardest. Until that day, I am done. She is now 30, and we have not spoken since. So, this mother and her family did something right. For the child to still want to know what happened with his father means the mother and her side of the family did everything they could to keep the father in a positive light. Because they knew one day the moment would come where her son would want to know the deal with his father.

@@5x7m that's why I'm at peace with my decision. I tried for years, took abuse, chance after chance and try after try. I know in my heart I did everything I could. But, like life, when one person admit mistakes and the other person does not, then it's time to cut it off. Not a child because children truly don't understand things, but at a certain age they should know. I decided she should know. So, the cut off was in order.

@@cocainejackson918 I understand your point of view. However, when you go 20 plus years of taking abuse, smart comments, lies and deceit from not the child's family and the child, yet still say nothing, still go to every function, etc., there comes a point where your child is grown. Never mind you, she was talking to me as if she were grown for years with a smart mouth and disrespectful comments. Yet, I still ate it. Now, my thinking was this: "she is young. She is brainwashed and doesn't know any better. It will be better when she is grown and is able to communicate. So, just stay the course and keep quiet". That's what I did. She became a woman, and the disrespectful comments and smart mouth never stopped. So, it was time she knew the facts. Not my side or her families side. The actual facts. Documents, tapes, etc. There was no scolding. It was showing her e everything she has been told and/or thought wasn't true. Yet and still, disrespect. Well, at some point, she has to get treated like a grown person. I will MEVER let any of my children talk to me like I'm their friends. And, every black person knows this saying, "if you want to act grown, I'll treat you like you're grown". That's not scolding. It's I've tried, tried, tried. And, whether it's my child, wife, or anyone else, if I try to rectify something and you aren't willing, then I now out gracefully. I've come to you, now if you want, you come to me. I chased for years,.now you can chase. That's not scolding. That's setting your standard.

I am sorry I really am. I pray she gives u a chance so many kid should love this opportunity but they have done such great damage to her. God bless u and may God bless and keep her.. do me one favour pray for seven days and then call her. She needs you now more than ever trust me. And as much as it hurts she wants you to once again like a knight in a shinning armor to demand her love and attention. She's worth it you are worth it u r a beautiful soul ❤️

Tears 😭 You can feel the love he has for his Dad ♥️♥️♥️

This just shows how powerful being and having a father really is. He ran to him like a lil baby and didn't want to let go.

[@edwinluciano3531]

This was a very beautiful video and as a grown 50 year old man this brought tears to my eyes. Regardless of what happened to the relationship between the parents a dad's love is always unconditional

[@walliegoolsby5389]

Dad should have made the effort to come see his son play sports. He missed a lot of memories of his son and his performance on and off the field. He has a wonderful and strong Mom to provide him the support he needed from day one.

[@amirabrown9643]

you never know why his dad has seen him play .. not saying he has an excuse but if the grandma had to pay for the plane ticket , then maybe he isn’t good financially ...it’s good they got him to come on his senior night , because that’s how i was when i played my last year .. senior night was more important

[@walliegoolsby5389]

Dennis Expose yes I agree the Dad was there for the last game but that doesn’t always erase the fact that he wasn’t in his life. I can say that happened to me and it doesn’t mean you don’t love your Dad but the absent is not that easy to get over.

[@pulemausofe7138]

@Dennis Expose if you don't give a fuck then why the hell did you comment for ! It doesn't mean your dad was not there for you at most times doesn't mean you can just say that about other people.

[@ParqForrest]

Wallie Goolsby we don’t know why he didn’t. Or couldn’t. All that matters is he is there.

[@ParqForrest]

And they didn’t say he isn’t in his life. They said he hadn’t seen him play. Maybe mom up and moved a way or vice versa as they were young when she was pregnant. Who knows, who cares. He is there now!

Emotional video. THANKS for sharing. My dad passed away back in March & I'm 38, but I remembered my dad coming to my youth & high school games. That kinda of support is like no other. To the dad's out there, be active in your kids lives. That's in sports & school activities. Trust me, your kids won't never forget it.

[@shellyb.8387]

My dad never wanted to know me. I never had a picture of him, never heard his voice. He was ok with that. He died when I was 14. I'm now in my 50s. There are moments when I still shake my head at that and wonder why

[@zeeeefineass1930]

shelly B. I don’t have a bond with neither of my parents it’s like they here but they not here I don’t talk to them . I used to look at other people with they parents wishing I had that bond but now I don’t really care why should I yk . Do you have any kids and was it hard to love them because of your dad ?

[@shellyb.8387]

@@zeeeefineass1930 I have one son who I heaped my love on. Lol. He can never say his mama didn't love him more than anything. I know we just have to keep pushing on and try not to let the issues of someone else weigh us down. A child at any age will still feel that we are entitled to a parent's love and care even if it's not our reality

[@marcusnelson1094]

Man that was great. Had me tearing up a little bit. I’m glad his father was able to be there to see his son regardless of what happened in the past the relationship can be reconciled over time. I give his mom’s props for making that happen. They both needed that. God bless your entire family.

[@hdixon8323]

There are some real MVP'S IN THIS VIDEO. 1. HIS MOM. 2. HIS STEP DAD (Especially because he has been there the whole time, and is now willing to temporally step to the side to let somebody in). .. 3. His dad. They worked together to make this happen for the young man. That's some real mature stuff right there. Love it

[@delainalovell177]

Look how much it means to a son for his Dad to see him succeed.

[@jojoespaillat510]

Showing up late is better than NEVER!!!!! Let him be the one to enjoy this moment and hopefully more to come. Let the son forgive and move forward!! Forgiveness is such a good thing.. sadly most of us don't know how.

[@FDRGlobalNetworks]

I’m soooo glad they didn’t let him know he was there watching!! It would have been too much pressure. But the aftermath of now knowing he was there, AND the won the game.... simply priceless! I love how he kept his heart open towards him even through disappointment... God has great things in store for this young man 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
