As the saying goes, change can be incredibly hard. But it doesn't mean you can't have a little fun along the way.Al Roker is doing just that by soaking up his final moments with his son Nick as he prepares to head off to college at the end of the summer.
To celebrate their time together, the Today show weatherman/cohost took to Instagram on Memorial Day and documented the duo's time in the great outdoors. Amid jokes about flying on the lake and being Superman, the father and son looked like they enjoyed each other's company.
"I love this kid," Al affectionately captioned a photo of the two smiling into the camera. "Not sure what I’m gonna do when @nickroker155 goes off to #college."
While they soaked up the sun and made the most of their time together, Today fans made sure to commend the entire Roker family for all the success and pride Nick has brought them too.
One commenter wrote, "What a beautiful start you and your beautiful wife have given this young man ❤️🙌👏 he will accomplish great things no doubt😊." Another agreed, writing, "You will most certainly miss him but your son will know that Mom and Dad will be his biggest cheerleader’s. Congratulations to Nick!" And if there was any piece of advice commenters are giving Al, it's this: "GO VISIT!"
The special bonding day came shortly after Al and his wife, Deborah Roberts, were overjoyed with emotion seeing Nick give a sermon at his family's church. He discussed his learning disability, celebrating his academic achievements and persevering through it all.
"I could not be prouder of who he is and what he has accomplished," Al wrote about the heartfelt moment. "His parents are proud and I know his grandparents are looking down and are even prouder."
So sweet!
