Today, my son called me 'Daddy'.

No. 505 The story introduced this time

Here, we feature stories that have become topics on the internet and in the news as "heartwarming stories that bring tears to your eyes," along with videos uploaded to YouTube and other platforms.

There was a YouTube video based on this story, so I will introduce it as well.

The story introduced this time is a post from a single father who was moved to tears by the words spoken by his son, who had been told he might have a developmental delay.

Regarding the posting date

Summary siteI confirmed the post from July 27, 2009, from what is posted on the site, but I apologize if it is incorrect.
*It seems to be a post that was published on a bulletin board called "Gather, people whose wives have passed away."

Post content

I will post it including the responses.
The man's post is in bold.

Today, my son called me "Daddy" (tooshan).

I had been told he might have a developmental delay and his speech was slow, so I couldn't help but cry until I couldn't breathe.

When I was asked to choose between my wife and my son, and I said I would try to bet on luck without giving up until the end, I was actually optimistic inside.

Medicine is advanced. The mortality rate for my wife's illness is one in several thousand.
My son, who I was told might not survive, grew without any problems until the final month of pregnancy.

Even so, my son's birthday became the anniversary of my wife's death.

There wasn't a day I didn't think about what would have happened if I had chosen my wife.
To be honest, I still think about it sometimes even now.

But on days like this, I think from the bottom of my heart that choosing my son was also a form of happiness.

Now, next, I'll teach him the word "Mommy" (kaasan).

Sorry for the long post from my mobile phone.

I've been drinking, maybe I'm too excited.

I think your wife is satisfied with your choice of your son.
No, I'm sure she is happy about it.
I can't explain it well, but I hope you and your son are happy.

Thank you.

I don't know if my son is happy.
Because he doesn't have a mother, there will probably be more hardships in his life from now on.

But if I can, I want to make him happy.

I will do my best.

Don't say which one you chose.
It was your wife, and no one else, who wished to bring your child into the world even at the risk of her own life.
You must fulfill your duty as a parent.
I pray that you will continue to be blessed with happiness.

There is someone who protected your life.
Please make sure he can be proud of his mother.

If you were your wife, I'm sure she would have given birth to the child even at the risk of her life.
I would be the same, and that must have been your wife's wish.
Please live with your son with pride.
I'm sure your wife is watching over you and is happy about it.
