The look on his face he knew it was his son automatically; what a beautiful story.
Right, that choked me up 🥺😭😭😭
God bless y’all
@@rosalynmartin519 I know stop it 😭😭😭😭 you got me tearing up again.
@@plugmeradio we are going to be boohooing together!
How incredible is that? It did not take him even 30sec to know his son.
@@jeanmjimmy absolutely incredible
Why are war veterans living on the streets? They have served their country and helped the America people stay safe!!
That's so sad to know that people wish to have a hero in their life while the real actual heroes infront of them homeless and suffering
The only thing seperating you from being him is luck. I pray you never go through a hard core trauma in your life. In a blink of an eye you could be him.
Cuz they dont have it in them...they gave it there all at war.
Dishonorable discharge or mental illness
After retirement... they don't have saving. Even they don't care this now child .. this what I even see in America culture.??
"I already know boy" i completely lost it, many happy tears for you
Me too
Me 3.
me 4
@@arthurhsu5868 me 5
That's exactly what got me. I can't imagine how happy their hearts were when they met.
Sad to see heroes living on the streets
Sharon Eniye ☹️ sooo sad!
Sad to see his heart ache so much for so long. I know 100% how he feels. My story is a lot like his. In heaven all will come out into the light. For ever will be so worth this wait. God heals all wounds if not here, then on the other side. Forever is a long long time. Mamma never said there would be days like these.
Sharon just wanna let you know how pretty u are...I subscribed to your channel
I'm Kevin your son.
"I ALREADY KNOW BOY"
Wow...just wow.
Yes woww
100th like
Yeah, that gutted me
I couldn't see that part some sort of liquid in my eyes or something
Am in tears i passed thru this 50yrs ago lookin for my dad. It's an emptinees no one can fill. BRAVO KEVIN MY 👍👍👍 UP !!
"I already know boy"
He found the last piece of the puzzle ⚘⚘⚘
The way he looked at him when he got off the car....he really did
To everyone out here never stop searching for ur love ones family is all we have if u have to turn this world upside down to find ur love ones then only then u can find piece. 💯🙇♂️
Never seen his son before, but knew exactly who he was on site!!!!
@@trucker6962 same blood. :-((
@@serene2414 they still live separated. the old man in his place. I guess he didn't want to move to his son's place... freedom, the way he sees it.
"I already know boy" wow ! what a powerful word from a wise man
Man!...when he said "I already know boy" I couldn't hold back the tears
Same here.
Likewise 😢

Its 2020 and hes still there painting I buy his stuff when I can
Is he happy with his current life? Is he staying safe during this pandemic?
@Robert van Driel I wonder what is TRUTH behind why he did it! I pray he would forgive his self !
Is he still homeless?
I hope he is not its been years since this interview😳
He is still there??? And he's not living with his new found family in a home??!???
Really! 😳
Living proof of how important a father/son relationship is to a young boy.
The blood Bond
😫
Uncontrollable sobbing in 5,4,3,2,1... "Tell me who you are!!!??!"
OMG, That was a proud papa, just proud to be his dad and it was music to his ears to hear Kevin say it!
This was a BEAUTIFUL Tear Jerker!!!
😢😭
A veteran should not be homeless. Glad to see this father & Son reunited. God Bless ❤
He is a veteran!!!! Why is he homeless... damn America
R3y 1245 r u phucking kidding. We have had this problem long before trump came into office.
He went to prison too.
Simply vote red. We have democrats running things for the past 50 years and has not been any good , just violence
Krowned Jewels so damn sad !!!!!!
Stephany Hdz that’s just silly.
We all one paycheck away from being homeless. This story touched my 💓💓💓💓
Bro one paycheck is understatement,
So so true
I sleep with rats
Not all are one check away, but I understand your point.
I EAT RATS
When you take a knee, "Your disrespecting tha flag"
But look how they treat their vets
No, when you take a knee you disrespect America and all colors races and nationalities fought and died for America. America fought to keep people free! We are still the freest place to be in the world! There are other ways to fight Injustice has. Disrespecting America is never okay. It's horrible that our vets are on the street but we as humans should step up as well. We can't expect the government which is well known to not handle business, handle our business!
@@amberautery978 it's not a disrespect......get over it
@@amberautery978 that flag doesn't even represent everyone in America so...miss me wit all that shyt
@@yellowman617 you don't have to respect the flag but don't piss on me and tell me it's raining and expect me to believe you. This generation has really lost their mind. It's easy to kneal but harder to fight for your country. You are free to say the ignorant stuff you say because someone died for your freedom and that is what the Flag represents it's sad that you don't know the truth. It sounds as if you choose to ignore the truth. I can respect your opinion but I do not respect telling people lies. Our freedom has been bought and paid for with blood and that includes everyone of every color that is in the United States.
@@amberautery978 lemme know when it represent EVERYONE.....
I love this man the way he said right away "GOD gave me a creative mind"i wish him the best.prayers to him n his son.
It's so good to hear when people recognize how God is involved in their emotional, and genetic makeup.
EXACTLY!!!!! That was so beautiful! None of us are self taught or self made he knows! JESUS bless you! 🙏🏾🙌🏾✝️
shame on the government who neglects such people who once protected this country.if its in uk they wouldnt let their soldiers on the streets
EHHH HELLO THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL LOADS ON STREETS IN UK DUMPED AFTER SERVING IN ARMED FORCES! LOADS.
Veteran get homeless when they return to their country, its sad story
Maybe american goverment just care about technology not human who controlled tech in war zone
They do in the UK too
That's the United States for you.
You literally sound like every person in the UK 🤣🤦🏼♀️ you guys are notorious for acting like your country is so much better than American & you ignorantly pretend all the same horrible things don’t go on in your county MEANWHILE you accuse Americans of being ignorant to everything. You guys gotta stop making yourselves look like fools.
The father's reaction was so pure and childlike. My heart wasn't ready for something so pure. Thank you for sharing this story.
it broke me and took me down for a moment
@@BinniamEskender Me, too.
He looks just like his dad. Man his dad has been through hell!
I found my baby sister yesterday after 53 years.
Congratulations
@@Kodboattours Thank you
Wow so special! See how G-d runs the world!
@@leahkustiner6478 Amen
Hope you both continue positively.
I hope this man gets the resources he deserves, no VETERANS should be homeless.They deserve food ,clothes shelter, health insurance for life.
Amen
NO VET SHOULD EVER BE HOMELESS💯
Amen!!! 😭😭😭
❤❤❤❤❤
"Ain't nothing wrong with my heart. I just haven't been able to use it." Now I know I'm not alone.
There are many of us out here, you're never alone brother.
Shang Hunter Amen
😭
Always on ur 6, keep pushing...
Smiler, what he said about his 💔 OMG
I know who you are. I'm still in tears. Kevin and pop are reunited. Miracles happens everyday. I have nothing but love for these two.
I'm so tore up about this reunion it holds a special place in my heart because I have a similar experience. Just today my 34 year old son called me after 15yrs we've actually been estranged since he was 6yrs old last I saw him he was graduating Salutatorian Amanda Elzy High School Sidon Ms...
My son got reunited with his dad after 13 years. He spent 2 months with him this year. He lives in a different state. They are close now but his baby sister and him are two peas in a pod.
Bless you both!!!
Im happy for you sir but Why the estranged relationship since he was 6? And why the 15yrs absence?
Run to him.
You can do a lot of things now mate, and I pray that you will use this time wisely, but most importantly: happy, everyone deserves to have a good father and a good son.
This hug, holding his dad's hand like a child holds father's son and kissing his head.
"There is nothing wrong with my heart....I just did not know how to use it..." That is...wow...
AltarEgo a little bit hard to argue with that....
Well as they say
Be careful with ur heart
Thy heart is wicked
But people still follow
Follow ur heart
😒bruh
AltarEgo shit was eye opening
The most honest thing to say. Only a person with a heart could speak such deep words!!
The quote was "i just wasn't able to use it."
This is what a lovely miracle looks like. I can't stop crying, I have chill bumps on my arm, running around in my bedroom, screaming "Yes Lord."
But he's still there, homeless. I would never be able to let my 60yr old father stay there. Son must be struggling too if he cant take him home with him.
I've always dreamed of meeting my dad, makes me tear up haha
KnotSocialMusic - Keep trying - it is worth it. I hope you find him. There are many agencies who can help you in your search.
You will find your father
He knew he was his son, before his son spoke a word! 😩 Such a beautiful tear jerker!
And is son was so humble and kind. He's lucky to have a son like him❤️
@@GameChanger597
😢 Right

Whoever started reuniting these familys are truly angels
These people risked their lives for their country, why is his housing not innate??
To busy giving it away to illegal immigrants. Come here legally ok but don't get ahead of the line in front if homeless vets.
@@paintedlady82 there really isn't a need to choose, both can be done. America has the funds to build housing for most / everyone in dire need! If more was spent on helping immigrants AND homeless / in need, and less on literally causing these situations and disasters in other countries, that in the end lead to a migration crisis, a lot of Americas problems could be solved!
Legal immigrants.
@Fouuk Mee he is a veteran .
@Fouuk Mee When you sign them papers you basically sign your life away.
This is the BEST LOVE story EVER! 💕
"I'm a stinky ole man, bad breath and everything" 🤭
That was priceless. Glad they have been reunited
Shower, shave & mouthwash. Good as new
Lol
Omg, he knew that was his son as soon as he pulled up. 😭 He looks just like him! Some fathers do want to be a part of their children' life.
That's right
I'm crying again it's so amazing to see this
Dira501 ...this is a beautiful story. I can’t believe how much he looks like his dad.
That look on his face the moment he saw him is priceless! Did the policeman indicate beforehand that possibly his son would visit him? Doesn't really matter, it's still the same look!
But some mf do whatever they can to separate you from your kids
I found my dad working at a seven 11. I looked through the phone book in Seattle and called every seven eleven
The phone book? Not Google? OK.
@@ladiesfirst4715 yeah I idiot I was a child n I'm 39 , there were phone books all over the place back then
@@ladiesfirst4715 Tsk Tsk Tsk.
@@erubenet Lol I don't think she figured what he meant by phone book because he spoke like it was recently lol
I've never wanted someone to have a GoFundMe until today. 🥺
Keep it real GENTLEMEN who else teared up watching this man… damn🥺💪🏾
I lost all composure when they reunited. This is the good side of the internet and social media.
The prodicle son! 😭😭💗😭😭💗God is ALWAYS at work!
Amen
"Tell me who you are... i aint heard in a long time I might need to hear it again im 60 years old" "im kevin your son." "....thank you very much"
Damn man thats some feels right there.
I knoww..😥
You're right. There are so many young fatherless men who grow up not knowing who they are. I was one of them. That's why that line hit me hard. A father teaches a son who he is.
Geoffrey Fermin YESSSSSS SIRRRRRR DONT TELL ME WHAT CANT BE
❤❤❤
@@shanec9840 Sorry to hear that Shane, it was the opposite for me. I was blessed to have had the most wonderful father but i have two sons and we've been estranged since they were 4 and 2. I had recently found them after 20 yrs. searching and moved states away to be very close to them both so i can be there for them if they need me. They both refuse to speak to me (due to their mothers negative influence). I try EVERY week (messaging) and WILL until my last dying breath, being that i'm retired i have the time to put in and found out where they work, were they play ball and where they both fish. I love to watch them every week, they don't know i'm there but i'll NEVER give up. Sorry for the rant, this video broke me and your last sentence broke me further because i'm just trying to show the love and wisdom that my great father has done for me. Much respect to you and yours, never give up and always stay strong.
he did not even have to say who he was. That man look like his daddy!! When I saw his face I said ....wow
Empress Rae Palace he knew who he was, I cried so hard.
He looked just like him AWESOME 😭😃
"still struggling tonight" HUH, maybe take some of the damn production money and help the man out. Buy every damn painting and give commissions for future ones for backgrounds on your program. Throw the ad money from that nights show to the man, SOMETHING, he just gave ya'll the heartstring story of the year and it's paying out years later.
I wish them others the some. Beautiful.
Yes l plus the video went viral so they made so much money
Lol they dont give a damn about that man or anybody who else who doesnt serve them. He probley had some worth in the war but not now..
I don't understand why nobody immediately started a GoFundMe page for him. I've seen people start GoFundMe pages to get help to pay off their medical bills or to get veterinarian care for their dogs. But a vet who gave of himself selflessly and faced daily possibility of losing his life for his country, and nobody is helping him - what is wrong with this picture?
You can still see the discipline and shame in his eyes. This is one solid father. Some people just get into bad circumstances
BLESS THEM & THE COP for REUNITING THEM.
can you send me recipes
I cried. Wow. The power of forgiveness. His son had no animosity towards his dad. When the father said his heart was broke and wasn't made to love, God said otherwise. You're never too old to get it right.
Shane C Amen and Amen. when he said that my heart almost broke. But like you I knew his change was about to come. Bless yall and may The Good Lord Keep You
Shane C -maybe the war broke his spirit as it did many Veterans
That's the part that got me, man it's getting me even thinking about it now
Shane C n
Holy Jesus my heart goes out to this family much blessings much love
I have tears rolling down my face. Tell what we don't serve an awesome God!!
I spent most of my life living without my father but when when I finally found him cancer took him away from me. The 12 years I lived with him were the best years of my life.
Military and prison can do a whole lot to a man's psyche God Bless this family.
You are so right government but most of them are heroes government they do not care the men and women in jail you should see the food they eat see homeless people can't get food like you and I so they eat what they can do homeless and jail government.
So sorry for my people Time has not change.
And the police department
@@christianbozwell4981 the police department are the criminals

Drowning in my own tears

Hi
@@moseswhite9617 Hi
OMG I can’t stop crying! I haven’t seen my Dad in 15 years and I pray to God to give me the opportunity to see him and hog him just like this young man did with his Dad, God bless them!!!
I pray you get the opportunity soon. God bless you and your father.
I haven't been able to hug my own mother,never knew her, or my father, in over twenty years. He wasn't a father. I never stop believing that my mama loved me,and will always love me! No matter what!
@@onewearycatfromtexas2066 I bet you no matter what or where she’s at she thinks of you, you should look for her you’ll never know what destiny has in store for you! Blessings
@LuisCalderon How can I look for her? To this day, there are no marriage records, to a death certificate of my mother. I have too many times,and attempts to try to find my mother, and yet to no avail. I finally gave up. God still gots Blessings in store for me and mine!!!! Blessings 💗
@@onewearycatfromtexas2066 sorry to hear that! have you tried any social media? Or you can try this website peoplelooker I think that’s the name, hopefully you can get any leads there.❤️❤️

Len E it's sooo heartwarming and the same time sad 😭
BECAUSE IWANTITALL thank you ☺️
Lets pray God will intervine and they will have piece, what a Godly son to say i have never held anything against you. God please fund them and remove Satan or any harmful thing from the father and son and let them heal. Amen

Father God...bless them.
Len E ...it sounded like a thunder in my years ! 👏👏👏
My heart goes out to the son as well as the father..
Thanks for posting positive news
That was amazing, how precious. I pray they continue as a family
Hello Carla how are you doing?
How can anybody give this a thumbs down? You all are cold hearted for real. Lovely story...💜
I think they just do that so that the similar videos won't be recommended. It's not about wether they like the content ... I think?!
Evil people looking for attention
They are crying so hard they liked it upside down
Just some white privilidged white people white white white...
Or people are more upset that he's homeless, yet a veteran
He knows, he knows he knows his baby😢😢😢😢😢😢😭
Lillie Albert That’s right! Now he said that! By the look on his face that Daddy knew that was his child!

My heart just bled, when I saw this video! Thank You! Beautiful!!!
I’m Kevin your son thank you very much what a love reunion, this young man is a such loving and kind human being
He knew that was his son just by looking at him . My God the resemblance is real
thesunwillshineonme yeah like Father Like Son❤️❤️❤️
Thought I was the only one who saw it. Got me bawling like a fool.
I guess its not because of resemblance,there is always that strong feeling inside when someone meets their kids
@@jazz_and_ana446 don't be blampheous!
@@amberrose1108 The sentence "like father like son" is not blasphemous at all. It's used to point out a ressemblance(physical, personality, behavior, personal tastes...)between a father and his son.
Omg.... I'm watching this as tears stream down my face!! This young man has a beautiful heart!! This young man's Mom must be a wonderful person as she didn't inflict negative feelings onto her son! Sometimes the kids will imitate what they have been taught. If the Mom didn't care for him then sometimes the kids can and will take on that attitude as well. He has no ill-feelings towards his Dad. There are so many people that hold on to anger and never make amends before someone passes away!! I hope that they keep in touch and move his Father into a little place of his own if he's willing to relocate. I'd like an update on this story!! May God Bless them both!!!
Robert van Driel Awe thank you for your kind words!🥰
Just brought tears 2 my eyes. This is so wonderful Father & Son reunion! GOD IS GOOD & GOD IS GREAT!
☺️
God Bless Them Both!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
he said I already know who you are ❤❤

Father- Thank you very much!
This made me cry!
Me too.
Me too and imma THUG 😭😭

Yeah Me Too ! God is Good whether people believe it or not and I don't mean to offend... God is still good and I do believe in miracles too !
So simple & so DEEP! ♥️
Being a Veteran 🇺🇸 is the shit that hurts me the most …. We all make mistakes some bigger than others and We Moved on Period ….. the fact that he served and is not getting proper help Is Killing me Because he did sacrifice for Our Freedom …. God Bless This Guy and As Trucker when I visit Houston I will be stopping by to Visit him
Its amazing how his daddy knew actually who he was when we stepped out the car his dads face lit up he was so happy.
that made me cry, My father passed away when I was 14 year old I with I could get him back and tell him how much I love him
Bless you sweetheart. Send him prayers and hopefully your heart will be soothed ⚘⚘⚘
This is beautiful, he looks just like him.
Had me in tears! This man should'nt be homeless a veteran who has served our country and fought for everybody's freedom. God bless him and his son.
So sweet, he said,"I already know boy!" That man knew his flesh and blood.
"Im your son", "Thank you very much" OMG! Tons of tears roll from my eyes.... Beautiful Love Amazing. he looks just like his father.
I just had a good cry. Hope his father gets help to get off the street. 💔😢.
Danette Cowan I was homeless because I have Bi polar disorder . I haven't seen my son in 3 years wherever you are Hunter I miss you so much champ! daddy loves you. I'm an artist in NYC ,i make soap sculptures, paintings and drawings. I'm probably gonna fuckin die in the street and never see my boy .
Thank God Almighty for reuniting this father and son!👏🏽🙏🏽✝️🩸🩸🩸. I hope and pray that the father receives emotional, mental, and spiritual cleansing and deliverance before leaving Earth🌍
Instant recognition!!
..I'm almost in tears!!
Why am I crying like this man is my daddy?? *blows nose*
kandi mcneill lmfaooo blows nose 😂
kandi mcneill 😪
Cus you are human and probably an empath
kandi mcneill
Me too😢😢😢
nothing can replace the love one has for his father, and one has for his son. it is undefeated.
"Tell me who u are? I need to hear it." That's a proud Daddy with full heart right there! My father passed away last yr and my mom's little brother the uncle I was closest to died 2 weeks ago. Love people while they're here. Time is not promised...
Omg the look on his dad's face...dad knows his baby boy when he sees him...this is just so priceless...i hope things get better for him..
He's just like his father
Fathers are such an important part of a person's life.
Don't worry i believe Kevin is working on a place for his dad.
Hello Cynthia
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Wow I wasnt ready for this 😢 I've been looking for my dad for long time too, last I heard he was homeless in Maryland
I cried with Tears Of Joy
A go fund for this man please
Julie lilote start it. Don't wait for someone else. Be the action
Julie lilote YES!!
I mean if thats his son his son must have atlaeast helped out or let him move in
You didn't hear that he's still in college. It means he doesn't have the money yet which makes sense.
Its been 1 year now.
God know everything 🙌🏾💯
I lost my dad over 10 years ago when I see a father and son relationship it always touches my heart but sad to say I won't have that again so my advice to people spend every moment with your dad and cherish it I didn't have enough time with my dad it's nice to see sons and fathers together
Wow this broke my heart, But also made me have Love this story even more. He knew his seed and the flow of tears and the Love His lost son had for him. A Veteran On The Street's And Homeless No One Knows His Story Nor His Struggles But I Salute Him And His Son. My Family Is Made Up From All Branches Of The Arm Forces From Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, And My Brother Was A Vietnam POW. Let's Do Better For The Men And Women That Fought For Our Freedoms. And Support The Ones That Do.I Pray All Us Well And God Renew Every Piece That Was Lost.
Helloo
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Tears 😭 The boy has found his father ❤️
Hello 👋
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
This is just beautiful, Kevin's humility and love, just beautiful
Hi akina
How beautiful the relationship between a long lost son & father. I pray that they reunite soon
Their emotions and relationship are honestly so pure, the time passed but the love lasts! 💜💜💜
i can't stop crying😭😭😭😢😢.may god bless u kevin u r a great son.
Brilliant what a heart that young man has. He will be bless indeed. The Bible says to honour your parents, and he's doing just that.
That fills my heart with happiness. I hope things are made more complete because of their reunion.
Wow, 2021* Farther lost in Grief, and a Son that Loves him. Beautiful! God Bless you Both.Ms.Pretty
My eyes are leaking ❤️ what a lovely reunion. 🙂
I just saw a vid about a homeless man and what he said touched me.. "Nobody sees u when ur laying there on the ground" made me cry
I wish I can help some of people like him one day.. that s all I ll ever wish for
Volunteer in a shelter.. or you can reach out to one homeless person at a time.
You can help homeless people nearly everyday, they are everywhere.
It Moved My ❤ So Emotional.
JAMAICA🌴 was here....
The dad knew that was his son without even being told. Amazing
