The post shared by a Reddit user shows two pictures. A caption shared along with the pictures adds context to it. “Me holding my son at MY HS [High School] graduation vs me holding my son at HIS HS graduation,” it reads.

Take a look at the wonderful post:

Since being posted a few days ago, the share has gathered more than 71,000 upvotes and the numbers are only increasing. The post has also prompted people to share various comments.

“Congratulations! That's a lot of extra cords on his gown!” wrote a Reddit user. To which, an individual asked, “I'm not American so don't understand these cords. What does it mean to have more or less? I gather from the comments that having more is good but that's all I have gathered.” Another Reddit user joined in and answered, “Honor societies, extra-curricular activities, graduating with a high GPA (have point average aka high grades), etc.”

“That's epic. How old were you when you had your kid?” asked a person. The original poster replied, “I was 15 and a sophomore. 33 and 18 now for us. ”
