Hi Sandra,
I think you have expressed your father being overcome with emotion very well.
One thing in the painting that I find distracting is the father's hand. I find myself taking extra effort to "read" the hand position. The highlight along the lower thumb looks too close to the palm side, so I don't see the rounding as the surface curves away from us. The rest of the thumb looks a bit unnaturally straight. The lack of any hint of the back of the hand or knuckles also makes it harder to read the hand.
