If you&#8217;ve never shed tears during a Pampers ad, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uu3iM1azTj4\">one<\/a> from Japan may cause you to do so. The theme of the ad is centered around the idea that a baby&#8217;s first birthday is also a mother&#8217;s first birthday. A mother who makes it to the milestone of that first birthday should be celebrated and thanked.<\/p>\n<p>In the ad, we see moms taking their one-year-old\u00a0child\u00a0to the doctor for a checkup. While they are asking routine questions, the fathers are outside in the hospital hallway setting up a surprise. I won&#8217;t give away the surprise, but it&#8217;s pretty touching.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uu3iM1azTj4\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The commercial is in Japanese, but you can click on the bottom right side for English captions. It&#8217;s worth trying\u00a0because you get the opportunity to\u00a0read the heartwarming messages these fathers\u00a0give. Words like:\u00a0&#8220;I almost cried when you first said hello to our son&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;You were in such pain, but acted so strong&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite messages from a dad is: &#8220;She always puts our child first; she eats only the cheaper sushi&#8221;. It\u00a0is\u00a0a simple and heartwarming\u00a0look into the way mothers across the world make small sacrifices to care for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Pampers says in the ad: &#8220;Today we give dads\u00a0a moment to say what they feel&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>By far, the most powerful message I heard was: &#8220;Thank you for deciding to do this&#8221;. I love that message because it takes into consideration the reality of a mother&#8217;s choice. Choosing to carry a child and raise them is serious commitment &#8212; a commitment that is worthy of respect. These fathers are grateful that their partners chose life. We can tell by their expressions that these moms and children are their father&#8217;s greatest gifts.<\/p>\n<p>When the mothers leave the hospital, they are greeted by the fathers\u00a0with another surprise. As one\u00a0smiling father holds that surprise, he looks at the mother of his child and says:\u00a0&#8220;I finally learned what true happiness is really about&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Pampers concludes with: &#8220;Thank you moms for the most trying year of your life&#8221;. It&#8217;s a sweet reminder that being a mom isn&#8217;t an easy job, but it&#8217;s worth the sacrifice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When\u00a0was\u00a0the last time you cried watching a commercial for diapers?
