This video of a father feeling his baby's pain while he gets shots is adorable

Parents, you'll totally relate

No parent wants to see their child in pain, so when father Antwon Lee from Warrenton, Georgia, took his 2-month-old son to the doctor's for shots, he might have lost his cool. But can you blame him?Lee posted the touching (and totally relatable) now-viral video to Facebook with the caption, "I felt his pain, wait till the end." Trust us: This video, which lasts over two minutes, is worth every second.In the post that has surpassed 12 million views in just five days, you see the concerned father holding his baby boy, Debias King, as he tells him to "stay strong" and to "only look at me," reassuring him that "it's okay to cry" — a great pep talk if you ask us. But it seems like some of the consoling is for his own sake.With each shot Debias gets, Lee lets out bellowing cries and plants his face with kisses. "It was very hard," Lee told ABC News. "I felt his pain, but at the same time, it was all about love … I know he felt the love because his daddy was there." His sweet condolences and warm hugs definitely did make an impact, since by the video's end, the newborn has stopped crying.What you don't see in the video is what Lee is going through. The same day he uploaded the clip to Facebook, his own father tragically passed away at 57 from complications due to an alcohol addiction. Lee, though grieving, told GoodHousekeeping.com that it makes him feel especially lucky to have a such a healthy, "peaceful" baby like Debias.The video of him and his son is adorable, but there's something more to the story — a deeper message that Lee wants every father to hear. "I wanna touch every father who's not in their child's life," Lee said. "I want them to ask themselves, 'Do I want to be in their lives?' it's such a beautiful thing." "If you want to become a father you gotta be ready for it," Lee concluded. "You gotta understand when you sign up for something, that you gotta stick with it. I signed up for this, and look what God granted me."(h/t ABC News)
