Question bro: Have you been moved to tears today? I have. Twice. I saw that Sara McLachlan commercial with the puppies with eye and being eaten to death by fleas. And then I finally checked my checking account balance after a weekend of spending way outside my means. As men, crying is stigmatized. But it actually feels pretty good to have a good cry. It’s like masturbating after a two-month long stay at summer camp.
Welp, I was almost forced into the cry hat trick after watching this video that has gone super viral since it was posted last week. Kalani Watson from South L.A. asked his stepdad, Brandon Williamson, to adopt him for his 10th birthday.
The video speaks for itself.
Kalani’s mom posted the video to her Facebook account, accompanied with the following message:
