College Baseball.
This father had never missed any of his son’s baseball games in his life.
He had to miss this tournament because his best friend was getting married and he was a groomsman.
He woke up at 3:30AM and drove
100 MPH that Sunday morning to try to and at least make the Sunday games after missing the
Saturdays games. And, of course this was the only tournament all year that his son’s team lost their first game on Sunday, so he didn't make it in time because the first game was at 8 and there was no second game.
When he pulled up his son saw him and he ran full speed and jumped into his arms and wouldn’t let go. Dad said his son told him, “daddy, you can’t ever miss again. I love you so much. Not having you with me this weekend made me feel so empty, please never miss again, I'm so thankful your my daddy!” 🥹
His wife filmed that video. ❤️
I remember those days well. Speeding like a bat out of hell to make it on time. I have always made my kid’s games and activities. It’s what I live for. And the few times I had to miss, I felt like I let them down.
What a great father he is. That boy is fortunate. 💯
Do you remember this feeling? Trying your hardest to make it to one of their activities and just feeling sad that you couldn’t be there?
Oh, that one game Drew Lock lead the Seahawks to a ROAD WIN vs. the Eagles.
Drew Lock threw a clutch touchdown to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 30 seconds left in the game for the lead 🔥
#1 NFL Draft pick Fernando Mendoza & fellow Raiders QB Kirk Cousins did a Step Brothers impression for the team’s schedule release 😂
One of the best releases I’ve seen so far
As someone whose sibling was in a wheelchair: 🥹
Royce Lewis saw a boy in a wheelchair at a signing and people kept cutting in front of him — so he took off his Jordans and signed them for him and went home in socks
Amazing story from @Audra_Martin
The Mariners retired Randy Johnson number. The second 51 retired by the club. First one, being Ichiro
When Ichiro came to Seattle, he wrote a letter to Randy asking if he could wear 51 - Randy said yes without hesitation
“One number. Two players. Representing one team”
My dad called me today
“Hey, i’m struggling to pay my property tax for this year. It went up almost $1500 to $8188 for the year versus $6600 for last year. I’m confused, i thought taxes were not to increase for two years. Did yours go up as well? This really sucks! They are trying to drive us out of the state.”
My dad is 76 and lives on social security. He’s lived in the same house since 1993. It’s been paid off for two decades.
Yet he owes $8k in property taxes, or the state of Texas will take his home.
This is criminal
