16-year-old Reuben Gray is a talented singer-songwriter trying to impress the judges on Britain’s Got Talent. Reuben’s parents have supported his musical dreams since he was a young child with piano lessons and lots encouragement. Reuben shared that his dad was his #1 fan.
Unfortunately, Reuben’s biggest fan was going to be unable to see his son’s big audition because of a job that often keeps him away from home and out of country. Reuben had decided to dedicate his audition to his father and was explaining his dad’s absence to the judge.
That’s when young Reuben got a surprise that brought him to tears! And when you see the love and emotion that are evident on this teen boy’s face you’ll have no doubt what a very special bond and relationship these two must share. What a moment it was when Reuben’s father surprised him by being there for his son’s big moment!
As working parents, there are often tough choices we have to make in order to support our families. But I’m so glad this dad was able to work it out so that he was able to return and see his son’s break-thru performance on national TV! What a blessing for both men, and surely a moment they’re not likely to ever forget.
And all this happened before Reuben even had a chance to sing the beautiful song that he himself wrote. This is one touching audition you definitely won’t want to miss. (Warning, it may make you want to hug your own Dad!)
