    The wife is such a beautiful soul- she knew her husband could not articulate his love for his son, so she spoke for him and said "we"- a man's heart is full of secret pains that they can't express- you can see how deeply his father is moved but could not say the words (especially with a camera on him). My only very small complaint- the sons should have shown a little more respect and waited for him to embrace his Dad before his brother.

      Respectfully Disagree, there was no disrespect there. Did you see the hug between those brothers??? Then look at the hug dad gave! Not even close. Dad looks old school in the sense he probably didn’t hug very much or say I love you. They got all that from Mamma Bear and each other(meaning the siblings).
