Toddler Breaks Down After Learning Dad Shaved Off Beard
The little boy gets emotional about the loss of his dad's facial hair
— -- An adorable little boy got emotional this month after finding out that his dad shaved off his beard.
Greg Hogan of Kathleen, Georgia told ABC News that he began growing the beard for the fundraiser, Beards For Bleeders, after his son Patrick, 3, was born with hemophilia.
“It’s where dads of kids with hemophilia will try and grow a beard to raise awareness,” Hogan said.
Patrick has never seen his dad without a beard and the toddler’s reaction was unlike anything Hogan ever expected, he said.
“I almost kind of panicked a little bit because I didn’t want him to get upset,” Hogan said. Thankfully I’ll have the beard back very soon.”
Hogan captured his son's reaction in a YouTube video posted June 1. "You shaved it," the boy said in the video.
"Are you sad?" Hogan asked his son. "Do you still love me?"
"No, I want your beard," the boy responded, crying.
Hogan then promised Patrick that he would grow his beard back. "Listen, next week I'll have my beard back and I'll have a full beard again, OK?" he said.
The toddler flashed a smile after hearing his dad would grow back his facial hair just for him.
The pair ended the video with a father-son selfie shot.
