Little boy has just one request from his dad — he just wanted 'one more hug': 'Richest man on Earth...'
A video of a young boy gently asking his dad for “one more hug” before saying goodbye has people reaching for tissues. Simple, sweet, and full of love, the moment is a gentle reminder of the special bond shared between a parent and their child. It also highlights the impact thoughtful gestures can have on our loved ones. The man, Brandon, and his son live in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. The viral clip capturing the sweet moment was shared on the YouTube channel, Humankind (@HumankindVideos).
As the video begins, we see Brandon leaving for his work when his son calls him from behind to ask for one more hug. The moment Brandon hears his son's sweet request, his heart melts. He kneels down, picks up the child, and wraps him in a warm, loving hug. As reported by USA Today, Brandon said, "The hardest part of my day is leaving my kids.” He added, “Moments like these remind me why I work so hard. My kids motivate me to be successful, not just to provide for them, but so I can spend more time with them and my wife.” This little gesture meant even more to Brandon as he lost his dad a few days before the video was posted.
It reminded him how important it is to create joyful memories with his kids so that they cherish them even after he’s no longer around. Once the video went viral, viewers filled the comments with nothing but love. One YouTube user, @Kat-n-Ollie, commented, “Oh, this is precious. And instead of walking on, Dad turned and waited. Your children will remember these moments. Great job, Dad!” Another person, @helenfuentes9539, rightly said, “You know he is a good dad when his kid runs out to get one more hug.”
Similarly, @MyraJewels chimed in, “This guy is the ️richest man on earth. I hope he knows! ️This is coming from a mother who lost her only son.” @TheBlackFamilyTV also shared, “This is me and my Sons Dion & Sire! It’s not easy leaving them, but when I come home, they run up to me and take all the stress away. Thanks for sharing the video, God Bless.” @gingersbmw further suggested, “Take it all in. When they get a bit older, you won't be this cool. lol enjoy every bit now.”
Meanwhile, in another heartwarming incident, a pizza deliveryman in Rhode Island was in tears when a two-year-old boy, Cohen, simply hugged him, not knowing it would mean the world to the man. The delivery guy reportedly lost his daughter and was grieving the loss when the little boy embraced him. Cohen’s mom shared the video online to share the joy with the rest of the world. What stands out in both videos is children's unparalleled love, their innocence and the sheer joy they spread without even realizing it.
