VIDEO: Father son selfie goes viral for heartwarming reason
Robert Selby is receiving praise after a recent selfie he posted to Instagram alongside his son, Chace.

Robert Selby is receiving a lot of praise after a recent selfie he posted to Instagram alongside his son, Chace.

Chace suffers from a Congenital Heart Defect called Tetralogy of Fallot, which causes him to have to eat from a feeding-tube due to being under weight and not eating orally as much since he was a baby.

In the photo, Selby is seen with a feeding-tube of his own which he glued to his stomach to show support for young Chace. "I just cut and glued one of his G-tube on me to show support for him and bring awareness," Selby says in the caption.

Chace is also seen in the photo sucking in his stomach and sticking out his tongue, trying to be just like his father.

"As long as I'm breathing, I'll always support my son and he'll never be in the fight alone."
