It’s Father’s Day and dads around the world are getting some love from their loved ones, and we are loving all the adorable posts on Instagram today.

Celebrity dads are getting (and dishing out) a lot of love today, and these 10 Instagram posts, in particular, are melting our hearts.

James Van Der Beek

 

 

 

 

 

James Van Der Beek will always be Dawson to many millennial mamas, but to his five kids he’s just “Daddy.” His wife Kimberly posted the cutest pic of James with their kiddos, Olivia, Emilia, Annabel Leah, Joshua and baby Gwendolyn.

James posted the same photo to his own account, with a caption that may make you cry.

He wrote: “For me, being a father means having that quiet little voice inside of you that says ‘Be a better man,’ get louder and more consistent… to the point where you can’t really remember where that voice ends and where you begin. It means being tired beyond what is probably healthy, and patient beyond what you previously thought possible. And even though you know you’re far from perfect… being a father also comes with an unshakable awareness that all your actions have consequences – context that reaches far beyond your own self-interest. It’s scary to feel that interconnected with the rest of the world – especially with your heart now walking around outside your body – because it demands more personal responsibility… but it will make you a better man. Of at least that I’m sure. #HappyFathersDay to all the imperfect dads out there, trying their best and learning on the job.? #fatherhood

That post gives us more feels than any episode of Dawson’s Creek ever did.
