Hes absolutely beaming when he's asked to describe his son.

[emmaroberts]

The way he said, "talk about my Henry?" made me sob. He was clearly happy to talk about his lovely Henry, but there was such a pain behind his eyes.

Lovely little 'For Henry Delaney' in the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie ❤

[AnitaHanjaaab]

As a dad with a 3 year old son. I couldn't even imagine a life without him. My goodness...truly heartbreaking.

[chrisoakley]

I could never talk about the death of a loved one in such a public manner without absolutely falling apart. This man's strength and courage are an inspiration. I'm truly sorry to hear of his dear son's passing.

"Describe my Henry?" Him lighting up like that is so beautiful.

I can't imagine what the pain of losing a child to cancer feels like. Rob Delaney is a strong man.

“He said Henry’s name…”
After our son died, this really was (and still is) the greatest way to honour him. When people use his name it gives him a place in this world forever 💙

[geneparmesan]

I have no idea who this guy is, but i'll be cheering for him forever. What a special energy he has.

[Lyra-buni]

Much love to him. We lost our son to suicide aged 15, four years ago and it takes strength to fight your way back into the world without them xx

[crystalrusmisel]

You can literally see the love pour out of this man whenever he speaks of his son. I just want to reach through screen and hug him

[matthewblack]

"if you're born on planet earth you're going to experience pain and there's no way around it" Words i needed to hear. Sometimes you going through so much shit that you can't see a way out besides one. To hear what he went through and how the books helped him see in a positive light is grounding, Inspirational and very very selfishly comforting.

0:26 The look of excitement on his face! That little boy was too young to understand that he was sick. All he knew was that his family LOVED him. That’s a good life in my eyes.

"A heart that hurts, is a heart that works." You don't even know how much I wish I could've heard that just once growing up. It would've made such an impactful difference. I will definitely remember that for the rest of my life.
I started crying as soon as he said, "My Henry." That was so gut wrenchingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift of words and meaningfulness. My condolences for your sweet Henry and the rest of your family. 💜

I'm a child cancer survivor and I consider myself among the fortunate ones. I was only 3 at the time in 1973. I lost an eye but got a life. Much love and continued healing to Mr. Delaney.

[kclmnop]

So much respect to a person that can lose a child and still be this candid and loving.
My daughter just turned one and the fear of losing her crosses my mind and I honestly just don't know how I'd ever get to that point.
Much love to anybody grieving the loss of a child.

My aunt lost her son to cancer when he was 10. Also when the boy struggled through treatment her husband fell in love with someone else. She`s also had breastcancer herself. The way she`s dealt with it through excercise and strong will baffles me, and inspires me beyond anything I`ve personally experienced or endured.

[DBreezy]

I lost my 9 month old daughter in the same year as Rob. The way he lit up when he was asked to talk about his son is the same feeling I get with my daughter. It can seem scary to ask someone about their child who passed, but trust me when I say it makes us happy to talk about them.

[justjulit]

It's not fair when a child gets cancer. 😭💔 Rest in peace

[ellenskinner]

I lost my son … Rob’s description on how to manage grief is wonderful.
