In the realm of parenting, one of our key roles is to inspire our children by setting an example. This encompasses everything from showing kindness to others to, yes, even eating spaghetti with utensils instead of our hands. For one father vacationing with his daughter in Ireland, it meant confronting his intense fear of heights at the breathtaking Dún Aonghasa cliffs in Galway.
A video titled “Dad Faces Some Demons” was shared recently and has already garnered over a million views. It’s easy to see why: this courageous dad, grappling with a perfectly understandable fear, is filmed crawling on his stomach toward the edge of a 300-foot cliff. His daughter, who is holding the camera, cheers him on, laughing as he wisely avoids standing too close to the precipice—honestly, just watching this makes our palms sweat!
“Eighty-seven meters above the Atlantic Ocean,” she narrates as they share a laugh. “Inishmore Island. He made it across on the ferry without feeling sick, and now it’s time for his final challenge….” The dynamic between them is delightful. As he expresses his fear, she offers encouragement: “I can’t look,” he admits. “Yes, you can. You got this!” Her practical advice, “If you throw up, it can go right over the side,” is both humorous and supportive.
Finally, he inches closer, gripping the edge as he lifts his head, exclaiming, “Oh my gosh!” With her urging, he holds his gaze down into the ocean, “You have to maintain five seconds of uninterrupted eye contact,” she laughs. And guess what? He does it!
This father’s willingness to face his fears for the sake of his daughter—who likely would still have him on the ferry otherwise—paired with their shared humor, brings a smile to our faces. It’s a beautiful reminder that no matter our age, we can challenge ourselves and confront our fears. Kids are always moved by such acts of bravery. Kudos to this dynamic duo!
