I've told this story before, but not for a while.
My dad lost his dad when he was 2yo- everything points to him getting killed by Murder Inc in Brooklyn over some loan debt, but he essentially vanished. So my dad grew up as "the man of the house" from that point on, learning how to be an actual dad years later on the job with my brother and me (and an amazing dad).
We rented and watched FoD together years after it had come out (when I was visiting as an adult), without much idea what it was about other than baseball.
At that scene, I start getting emotional and look at my dad... He's completely lost it, bawling like I'd never seen him do before or after. It has always been his dream that his dad would magically appear one day. I'm crying writing this.. I miss my dad so much.
