A Emotional Airport Reunion Between A Man With Down Syndrome And His Father Is Giving The Internet All Of The Feels ❤️

Malcolm Colbrink and his adult son, Matt Colbrink are almost never apart. Matt, 53, has Down Syndrome and spends most of his time with his bestie-dad. He's pretty independent, he just thinks Dad is super cool and since mom died 25 years ago they've been kind of bro-ing it up on a BFF/Father-Son adventure through life. Recently, Matt won a trip across the country to see his favorite baseball player, which meant he would go without seeing dad for a week. That almost never happens, so Matt's sister, Marcy, knew that the reunion at the airport would be adorable.


She was ready with her camera when the pair met up again - and she was right. Matt gave his dad the kind of earnest hugs and kisses that only a kid who missed their parent can dole out. Pure magic.


Her post of the video went viral almost immediately, with millions of views, shares and comments. She says she's gotten messages from all over the world. People who have loved ones with Down Syndrome are reaching out to thank her for sharing such a beautiful moment.

The comments section shows how much people were moved by the love.

Marcy spoke to People magazine, telling them:

We just want to share the love. We want to let people know that it's really not Down Syndrome, we call it 'Up Syndrome,' because my brother has brought so much love into everybody's life that he comes in contact with.

Matt and Malcolm are happily reunited, back on their many adventures together. Marcy will likely be around continuing to document "Up Syndrome" and the joy Matt brings to the world.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
