This is too much...

A little boy just broke our hearts with a beautiful gesture to his older brother.

After their father left the family recently, Ethan Lanphere from New York shared this photo of a Father's Day card he received a card from his nine-year-old brother.

The card reads:

"Dear Ethan,

You are the person that I look up to. You have been my influence to make me a good person.

Love, Jackson. P.S. I love you."

Ethan explained to Buzzfeed that because his mum works long hours as an obstetrician, he's had to step in to help out with his two younger brothers since the family split up. He said he was overwhelmed by the gesture.
