PLANO, Texas — Two touching photos of a father and son are tugging at heartstrings across the internet.
One photo shared by 17-year-old Charles Brockman III shows him and his father walking side-by-side on the first day of kindergarten. The next photo shows the pair walking side-by-side as his dad moves him into his college dorm room.
“It hasn’t hit me yet because they’re still here, but I know it will hit me soon,” Brockman told the newspaper. “I’m happy they raised me to be who I am. But I know I got growing up to do.”
"From the first day of kindergarten to college move in. Thank you dad," Brockman wrote when sharing the photo on Twitter.
