Grandpa Leaves Emotional Note On Free Bucket Of Baseballs As Son And Grandson Grow Older
When 72-year-old Randy Long from Alabama was cleaning out his garage he came across some practice baseballs he used to toss around with his son and grandson. Randy then took them to a local batting cage, where he left them, along with a note that said:
“I Hope someone can use some of these baseballs in the batting cages,” “I found them cleaning out my garage. I pitched them to my son and grandson for countless rounds.My son is now 46 and my grandson is 23. I’m 72 and what I wouldn’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.
Touched, Randy’s grandson, Ethan Anderson, tweeted about his grandpa’s generous gesture. He never expected the post to go viral.
Randy said the young boy who took the balls actually contacted him, and they’re gong to stay in touch!
Ethan says while his grandfather is amazed by all the attention he’s getting, he really doesn’t have much use for social media.
Ethan added “He is still not completely sure what Twitter is,” “[He] even calls hashtags ‘hashbrowns.’”
