A young boy's emotional reaction when his dad calls him his "best friend" is melting hearts online.
Vincent Spencer shared a throwback video on TikTok earlier this month, featuring his five year old son Micah, then 3 years old, sitting in a car seat as the Lewis Capaldi's song "Someone You Loved" plays in the background.
Micah, who appears moved by the song, becomes emotional after Spencer tells him, "You're the best. Best son ever, you know that? My favorite. My best friend. You hear it?"
As the words sink in, Micah can't help but tear up, before he raises his hand to wipe his tears away, as we see him smiling.
"That song that was playing in the back is a song by Lewis Capaldi. But for some reason, the very first time he heard it, he teared up, and he was looking at me and telling me, 'Dad, I love you.' And so that song just always has struck a certain chord with him," Spencer explained.
The real estate agent in San Antonio, Texas said he has heard from many people since he first shared the video on March 6, with strangers telling him how moved they are and how the video has even helped some with their past trauma.
"They felt like, you know what I was saying to my son, that their fathers were speaking to them," said Spencer.
Vincent said he hopes the video can help others, especially fellow fathers, see a different side of masculinity and what it means to raise a young child.
The TikTok video has since garnered over 4 million views.
