Chris, 35, of Guardians of the Galaxy and Parks and Recreation fame, has spoken at a charity benefit on the difficult time following the birth of his son, Jack. Chris and actress wife Anna Faris, of Scary Movie and other comedies, had their first child in August 2012, and it was a complicated birth.

Chris spoke at the March of Dimes luncheon, an organisation that provides health research and care for mothers and babies.

Prepare yourselves. You may feel all the feels.

Especially with the mental image of Chris lying with his sick, tiny baby resting on his chest – “the best feeling I ever had.”

How very beautiful. And we aren’t just talking about Chris’s face.

Fortunately, little Jack pulled through, thanks to the help of “ cutting-edge medicines, much of which is a direct result of this wonderful organisation, the March of Dimes”.

“Our Jack went from a small helpless little squirt to a strong, happy, funny, and vocal boy. He loves monster trucks and Daniel Tiger and, believe it or not, he loves vegetables. Broccoli and cherry tomatoes are his favourite foods.”

“I’ve done all kinds of cool stuff as an actor. I’ve gotten to jump out of helicopters and do daring stunts and play baseball in a professional stadium, but none of them mean anything compared to being somebody’s daddy.”

What a great dad. Here’s an extra pic of Chris and Jack just to round things out. Aww.
