“Today I bawled my eyes out!”

Chris Herrera said that I could share this.
He was at the Gay Pride Parade in New York City this past weekend and saw this dad with his daughter.

This is what Chris wrote:

After I took this picture I walked to him to let him know and said I hope it's ok!

He said sure and smiled!

His wife said "HAPPY PRIDE" with a huge smile and hugged me.

Naturally I was my naïve silly self and I asked:
"So if u don't mind me asking........pause.........clearly you are a straight couple right?
What brought you out today in full festive mode?"

What he said touched my soul....

"As a father I make it a point to teach my child since she was born love is LOVE!

I want her to love everyone, every race, every soul!

So I want every celebration of life to be normal to her from day one!

As long as she knows there is LOVE in this world when I'm gone, I know she will be ok!"

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

#LoveIsLove #Pride #Equality
I love ❤️ this city!
