“ At my worst here and now , I could never have imagined being a part of something so beautiful , ” Jason , the son of former actor John Ritter , wrote of his and Melanie ’s family line .
Back in March, the world low-key fell in love withMelanie LynskeyandJason Ritter’srelationship thanks toJason’s A+ response tothe internet basically thirsting over his wife at Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars afterparty.
For reference, Melanie and Jason, who is the son of the late actorJohn Ritter, first started dating back in 2013, and they welcomed a daughter together in 2018. They got married two years later, and have been living happily ever after ever since.
And Jason did not hold back as he paid loving tribute to Melanie in a very lengthy Instagram caption on Sunday in honor ofMother’s Day— and Melanie’s response made the whole thing even more adorable.
Sharing a selection of photos of Melanie with their daughter, Jason wrote: “Happiest of happy Mother’s Days to this dream person, @msmelanielynskey. Our daughter is SO lucky to have you as her mother. The happiness that explodes out of your sweet face when you are with her is something to behold. Your patience, kindness, empathy, humor, strength and the way you look at the world are all qualities that I am so grateful our daughter get to see and model as a young girl coming into this crazy world.”
“The fact that I get to be here watching the story between you two unfold is the greatest joy of my life,” Jason went on. “She is who she is because you love her in the way everybody needs to be loved, and you listen to her and give her the respect of acknowledging the validity of her experiences, and you gently guide her towards solutions, or new ways of looking at things.”
Referencing how Melanie got one of their daughter’s drawings permanently tattooed on her arm, the actor added: “I love that her little cat drawing is on your arm forever. Thank you for creating and raising this little person with me, thank you for being who you are, thank you for being such a wonderful guiding light for our family. At my worst moments I could never have imagined being a part of something so beautiful, and I am so grateful you believed in me enough to allow me to try to be the person I felt you knew I was.”
Needless to say, Jason’s followers were in awe of his heartfelt post, with many flocking to the comment section to send their own Mother’s Day well-wishes to Melanie, however, nobody was as touched as Melanie herself, who commented: “First of all, I love this song and isn’t it universally praised or do I run in the wrong circles?? Secondly I did not approve any of these photos. Third, I love you so much Dring.”
“Thank you for this beautiful post and for taking the time to make me feel this special today,” she went on. “I always love your long captions and when one is created especially for me it is the greatest gift in the universe. I feel like I won a very lovely prize. Thank you for creating this little person with me. You’re the best dad in the world and she and I are so lucky to have you. I love you forever. 🩷❤️🩷”
