It’s pretty understandable if you just shed a tear or two while watching that video. It delivers a pretty powerful emotional message: A good father always has your back, will look out for you and help you out no matter what — even if his help is just a push in the right direction toward something you’ll ultimately have to figure out for yourself.

The video hit the Internet just in time for Father’s Day, which, if you’re unaware, is Sunday, June 19. So if you haven’t gotten a card or gift, or planned a celebratory dinner or brunch for your pops, you should probably get on that as soon as possible. 

We can all pretty much agree that the great dads out there deserve to be recognized. And while they should be appreciated and celebrated all year round, it's especially important to show a little extra love on the one day a year dedicated to acknowledging dads and all they do.

On Father’s Day, it’s important to remember that a father is someone to look up to, and someone who is always there for you. A man to celebrate your triumphs with, a friend to laugh with and sometimes a shoulder to cry on — a presence to aid in picking you back up when you’re feeling especially down.

A dad is a perpetually positive influence. He helps shape who you will ultimately become, and he watches you grow into yourself with an immense amount of pride and unconditional love.

So this Father’s Day, give your old man an especially long hug, or if that’s geographically impossible, a phone call — anything to thank him for being the best dad a kid (or grown-up) could have.

Because while they don’t do all they do so you’ll thank them, a little bit of gratitude still goes a long way.

Happy Father's Day 2016.
