Dillan DiGiovanni was truly moved by this father’s gratitude for his precious son.
—
Mike King from Louisville, KY is a damn good son. He seems to be his father’s most precious gift.
But it’s clear why, since it looks like he comes from good stock. Check out the response of Mike’s dad, Roger King, when he was gifted with a ’57 Chevy for his birthday. His son, Mike, made a promise at eight years old to get the car for his dad. And boy, did he deliver!
What struck me the most about this video and the story, itself, was Mike’s reaction. He didn’t dive toward the car and start oohing and ahhhing. Not at all. Before stepping towards what many would consider the gift of a lifetime, especially if it’s something you’ve been wanting for a while, Roger King grabbed his son and hugged him for at least a solid minute. He held him tightly, he sobbed and kept repeating, “thank you, thank you.”
He seemed so overcome with gratitude for the present and total admiration for his son, that he can barely utter, “no” because he’s in such disbelief. As he held his precious and thoughtful son, you get the impression that the car of his dreams is just icing on the cake.
