After watching his little boy battling a scarce form of cancer,Josh Marshall was left devastated when Gabriel shared how he was feeling: like a monster.
In order to fight the malignant brain tumor, the now-8-year-veteran child had to undergo surgery to remove part of the tumor. While the operation successfully stabilized his condition for the time being, and it also left a large scar above Gabriel's right ear. When Gabriel disclosed to his dad that he was feeling very self-conscious about the current scar,his dad immediately knew that he needed to do something. "This broke my heart," Josh told BuzzFeed. "I told him whether people wanted to stare, or they could stare at both of us." The committed father got an identical version of Gabriel's scar tattooed on his head in the exact location as his son's ticket. After Josh shared a touching photo showing off their matching heads - along with his unconditional love for his child - the moving image won St. Baldrick's Foundation's #BestBaldDad competition. Josh captioned the photograph with a simple explanation that he got the tattoo to benefit his son's self-confidence,but it's clear to see that this dad will be doing everything he can to support his son every step of the way.
