The joy of doing something for the first time is always immeasurable. Just like this boy’s first home run in a baseball game and what he did afterwards has been touching people’s hearts. A video of the boy surprising his grandpa with a signed match ball is heart-warming to watch.
Melissa Carrier-Damon posted the video on her personal Instagram account, carrierdamon, six days ago and it has received more than 1.9 million views so far. “Felix got his first home run and wanted to surprise his papa,” says a text insert on the video.
The video begins with the boy coming to meet his grandfather. The elderly man asks the boy, “What did you do?” Felix tells his grandpa that he hit two home runs and signed a ball for him. He tells him that he’s written “Papa I love you” on the ball.
After hearing this, the elderly man feels overwhelmed and starts to cry. He asks the boy why did he do that. Felix says that it is because he taught him everything about baseball and they both hug each other. “Grab your tissues,” says the caption of the video.
