Amidst the recent series of coordinated terrorist attacks from mass shootings and suicide bombings in Paris on the evening of Nov. 13, a father managed to calm his little boy, reassuring him of peace and serenity through faith and love. The conversation of a father and his son about the Paris terror attack has been shared more than 11 million times on Facebook.
In a news clip which was aired on Canal+ television show "Le Petit Journal," a journalist asked the young man how he thinks and feels about the extremists killing people in Paris on Friday.
The father tried to explain the flowers, candles and tributes outside the Bataclan concert hall, where 129 people were killed. In the trending video, you could sense innocence and sincere love of a young boy towards his life as well as the lives of his loved ones and even those people he doesn't know.
"It's Ok. They've got guns but we have flowers." This line from the father, Angel Le, has caught the hearts of the many as to how optimistic and faithful he could be. It's admirable how he could make hope and faith really contagious despite what had happened.
After such brief yet moving conversation, the son said with much bliss and confidence, "Yes, I feel better." The young child only shows how he trusts his dad and his reassuring words. He believes that "candles and flowers are there to protect everyone".
The father, on the other hand, commented on the video clip on Facebook and said, "I'm the dad with the little boy, thank you all for the great comments that you have posting for us. When when I see all this support it tells me one thing: I'm proud to be French and proud of my fellow countrymen!"
Light moments like this have helped, in one way or another, those who are mourning around the globe to look into the tragedy and its aftermath on a different perspective. Likewise, this gives everyone the courage and the hope that he or she needs especially during these difficult times.
Watch the video and let your hearts be hit with their words.
