James Conner bought his dad a truck, and it was an incredibly sweet moment

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner provided the internet with a small slice of joy on Saturday. He bought his father a truck, and taped the reaction. It was so fantastic.

His father’s initial reaction is amazing: a blank smile of disbelief. But then my favorite part is when the reality hits him — he just got a brand new 2020 pickup truck from his son — and Conner’s dad basically starts dancing.

I won’t blame if you if giggle and tear up a little while watching this video. (Maybe keep the tissues nearby.) Here’s a look at the wonderful moment between Conner and his dad.

Conner, who overcame cancer to have a succesful NFL career, is an incredible story on his own. His back muscles are also an incredible story. But — softy that I am — I really found this moment to be sweet.
