Here's a touching palate cleanser to start the day.
The Kentucky Wildcats hosted their annual "blue-white scrimmage" when a father and son caught the eye of Coach John Calipari.
The father, a coal miner, sat there with his face still covered in coal dust while his son looked excited to be at the game and with his dad.
Coach Calipari snapped a photo and tweeted "My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home. From what I’ve been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son & watch our team."
A user responded with an incredible comment the man's wife Mollie McGuire posted on Facebook. She was at the game with them:

Interesting name for the wife of a coal miner.
Need more of this. Fathers.
This reminds me a little of my dad. He worked three jobs, and had a really bad back, so going to games wasn’t his thing.
But he was very present when we were with him. Nothing else, just us.
I will say that if that guy sat next to me in that outfit I would have said "I'll watch the kid while you go wash up." lol
George Tommyknocker and son.
Gift them mid court season tickets, Cal
You can afford it
People still know a Norman Rockwell kind of moment when they are it, and they love to see it.
90% of Americans will always do the right thing.
Why do we let the 10% made up of losers, whiners, freaks, deviants and miscreants (and I’m NOT just talking about Congress!) rule our lives to the extent that they do?
Thanks for the reminder that being a Deplorable is the best choice in life. :)
Just because the “popular culture” has minimized and marginalized guys like this doesn’t not mean they haven’t always been around.
If that does not grab your heart nothing will.
Democrats want to groom his son into thinking he’s a girl. Then bye bye any chance of a grandson.
Especially if your from the Pennsylvania coal regions.

They gave birth to the union movement (back in the days of railroad barons) and not like today with the pristine modern government employees.

Ditto
I guess he left a lot of carbon footprints wherever he walked.
Because, they’re vocal, non-stop demanding imbeciles who can, and will, resort to violence to get their way.
To even try and stop them gets you labelled a nazi, homophobe and xenophobe who is now subject to being dox’d resulting in possible job loss and internet scrutiny on your entire life and background.
That’s why.
Ever think that he’s ok just how he is?
A good dad in action is a wonderful heart warming thing to behold! Men, this guy is Alpha Male!
The poor guy probably was somewhat washed up. God bless him.
Leni Riefenstahl is smiling up from the depths of hell at how well the propaganda push has worked in breaking down this country. Think the 10%ers. 😵💫🤡
What is touching is that they can interact without a cell phone.
Most people in public, today, look like that woman behind them.
