“Me and Daddy Are Going to Wrigley Field!” Father Surprises Hard-Working, Teary-Eyed Son with Cubs Tickets

What an amazing father and grateful son. Wrigley Field is a magical place and nothing shows that more than those 120 seconds right there. Wow.

And now you’ll have to excuse me, I’ve had something in my eye for about two minutes.
