August’s gesture didn’t only make his dad emotional, but many Twitter users were touched, as well.

I just cried! Wow! He knows that his shoes are in the best possible spot inside of His daddy’s Shoes. Just like he knows that he is safe and secure with his daddy. How awesome is this! I have never seen something so beautiful and awesome! It says a lot about his subconscious mind
