  1. Some men are awesome just being themselves.

  2. Really beautiful story ❤

  3. Amazing story… We're all made in God's image. ❤😊

  4. Hint: Don't have 3+ kids. Why do these people and single divorcee parents automatically deserve our empathy?! A: They don't! 🙄🙄🙄

  5. Beautiful AMERICAN family.
    Nice to see.

  6. I had to check, the carn today goes for anywhere from $50 to $4000 depending on the conditon. But I know its priceless to this guy.

  7. The Dolphins should give this man box seats.

  8. Finally its good to hear a good story on the web

  9. My friend mark recently bought me a 1989 ken griffey upperdeck rookie. Thats my dream card since i was about 11.

  10. YouTube needs to be renamed commercialsTube

  11. He should have gotten a super bowl ting.

  12. I've got a Joe Montana rookie. Wonder if I should do it?

  13. Even as a step father, the miracle of being a father figure has blessed both of them.

  14. Bidenomics is horrible. Vote Trump 24

  15. Love this! Cards bring back so many memories to most people, create great conversations and, as this story shows, oftentimes smiles and tears of happiness. Thanks for featuring this.

  16. this is so stupid. It always amazes me what upper class white family gets free press for the most minor and useless thing in the world. I'm just waiting for the story of the family that gets the Nobel Prize for sneezing into a tissue.

  17. confirmation of usurpation

    Donald Trump's lawyers are surprised the US candidate has to go to court.

    Is this democracy?

    The US Supreme Court confirmed through its cowardly actions that power in the US was usurped by biden.

  18. Umm ok, sounds weird and somehow gross. How is this news? Who cares? Don't you have REAL things to report on other than stupid nothingness.

  19. So 50 bucks kept he and his family afloat?

  20. Interesting news coverage interview.
