When 72-year-old Randy Long was cleaning out his garage he came across some practice baseballs he used to toss around with his son and grandson. Thinking a new generation of kids might get some use out of them, the senior took them to a local batting cage, where he left them along with a sentimental note that might just bring even the manliest of men to tears:

Hope someone can use some of these baseballs in the batting cages. I found them cleaning my garage. I pitched them to my son and grandson for countless rounds. My son is now 46 y/o and my grandson is 23 y/o. I am 72 and what I won’t give to pitch a couple of buckets to them. They have both moved away. If you are a father cherish these times. You won’t believe how quickly they will be gone.

God bless,

P.S. Give them a hug and tell them you love them every chance you get.
