Shortly after Beau Clark became a dad himself, he unfortunately lost his own. Beau revealed in an Instagram post that he lost his dad back in August and was continuing to process it. "A hard, up and down emotional rollercoaster, but mostly I feel numb," he wrote. "Normal feelings when a parent dies I guess." Beau also made a point to appreciate the commitment his dad made to him even though they were not related by blood. "... I want to do a Shout-Out to the men out there, who step up to the plate and become Dads to kids who aren't theirs," he wrote. "Anyone can be a father, but takes a lot to be a great dad! My dad Charlie was that!"

Based on his Instagram, it appears that Beau is trying to emulate his dad with his baby daughter, Hartford. He frequently posts photos of himself smiling with the baby, like this photo from September, or this video of him helping her learn to stand up for the first time. Our hearts go out to Beau and his family.
