A beautiful thread about fatherhood was born. As the thread started to go viral, the sweeter the shared father-child moments got; see for yourself.

The celebration started on Sunday and continued well into Monday morning. Shumpert took to Twitter again to reply to the overwhelming response to his tweet, writing: "It makes me so happy to know how many Fathers share this same feeling man. A child can fill your heart with so much love."
