Mar 31, 2023

Oftentimes when parents do something great for their children, people see these actions as something that is expected of them as parents. But the truth is, there are some parents who aren’t loving toward their children. That’s why parents deserve to be appreciated and loved for the things they do for their children. Some kids, though, aren’t as showy or sentimental when expressing their gratitude toward the little things their parents do for them. That doesn’t mean they are less appreciative of the sacrifices of their parents. But one kid proved that kids are still the sweetest and most pure creatures out there as he touched the hearts of others with a gift he gave his father.

In March 2023, a father from Massachusetts named Aaron Gouveia took to TikTok to share a video of his son Sam handing him a shirt. While you’ve probably heard stories about kids saving up money to buy their parents a gift, this one was different. The shirt Sam gave to his father was a masterpiece he created in an after-class sewing school.

In the video, Sam, a neurodivergent fourth-grader, could be seen seemingly hesitant to enter his father’s room. But he eventually became more confident after his dad, who appeared to be impressed with his work, started to express interest and asked some questions about it.

“You made that?” Gouveia asked.

“I did the buttons and I did the button holes,” Sam told his father. He added, “I got some help, but I did most of it by myself.”

Gouveia then asked if he could try it on. Of course, Sam said yes.

“Yeah! Look at this!” Gouveia said while he expressed his admiration for his son’s work as seen in the reflection in his mirror.

Among those that Gouveia liked about the shirt was the collar, which he described as “unique.” “It’s so awesome,” Gouveia said.  

When asked why he chose the specific pattern, Sam said, “It just looks cool to me.” He then added by saying that it went well with the jeans that his father usually wore. Gouveia made sure to make Sam feel appreciated, as he could be heard praising him toward the end of the video.

“Thank you, buddy. You’re so talented,” Gouveia said.  

Meanwhile, Sam earned instant fans among people on the internet. “He did an amazing job and he’s right. It does pair super well with jeans,” one person said. “I love it. I am so proud of him,” another person wrote.

Several people noticed the smile on Sam’s face, with many saying he appeared to be extremely proud of what he did. “When you turned the camera around and his giant smile!” one person wrote. “Omg his smile! He is so proud! So talented,” one other person wrote.

Meanwhile, other people said they couldn’t help but feel emotional about the encounter between Gouveia and Sam. “This made me want to cry. Thank you for supporting your son,” one person said. “I’m crying,” one person remarked.

Others said they believe Sam is going to be successful one day. “Go baby! You’re going to be amazing in the future and on!” one commenter said. “The next Gucci,” another commenter said, referring to the famous Italian high-end luxury fashion house.

Gouveia said that Sam felt happy after he read the comments on TikTok.

“When I showed Sam the comments on TikTok, he lit up. It completely brightened him. He’s so happy to get that validation from people,” Gouveia said.
