When one father was forced to leave his family behind for lengthy periods of time, due to works responsibilities, Mom knew something needed to be done to fill the void of Dad’s distance.

The mother in this case, Lauren Martin, used her creativity to come up with the perfect solution – a pillow that displayed a screen-printed picture of her husband’s face. This way, Daddy would always be around to give a hug to!

This simple, yet beautifully touching idea has transformed into the successful Australian company called Wish U Were Here. Now, all families experiencing the same struggle of a parent who’s job pulls them away from home, can have a piece of their loved ones at all times too.

In the video below, a mother records her son’s reaction as he receives one of these Wish U Were Here pillows, and his reaction couldn’t be more precious.

If this video doesn’t make you want to call up your own daddy to say ‘I love you,’ I don’t know what would! SHARE the love and pass it on!
