One of my sons went through a tough time in his young and otherwise happy life. As a father, it was heartbreaking to see him in pain and to hold his hand in operating room.<\/p>\n

He walked straight onto the top of that operating bed, no hesitation, no fear in his eyes. Just a quiet determination, like he was ready to just get it over with. It was incredible to watch, a testament to his spirit.<\/p>\n

My heart ached, a knot of emotion tightening in my chest as I watched him, so brave and so daring. He\u2019s so cute, my beautiful, loving boy. Tears started to flow, a mix of helplessness and immense pride. So incredibly proud of you, my beautiful son, for being so incredibly brave.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Brave\u201d is a song for my boy. Love you son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9333"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9341,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9333\/revisions\/9341"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.laopress.com\/press\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
