Coal Miner Covered in Dust Takes His Son to Basketball Game

A coal miner, covered in coal dust, took his son to his first University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball game. Twenty-nine-year-old Michael McGuire works 10 hours a day, six days a week. He did not have enough time to take a shower and still get to the game to meet his wife and 3-year-old son, Easton. Wildcats coach, John Calipari, was so struck by the photo that he posted it online, where it went viral. Coach Calipari told the McGuire family he wants them to be his VIP guests at an upcoming home game.

My dad is a mechanic. Owns his own shop. Works 60 hrs a week too 6 days a week. But he always made a point every year to come to my dance recital. Every year he'd go straight from the shop to the concert hall. People gave him funny looks I bet in a greasy mechanic uniform but he made it. Anytime a hard working man makes time for thier kids is an amazing father. That kid is going to cherish this memory for the rest of his life. I guarantee it

What i love is “oh he’s so great,he’ll suffer for his family” not realizing that the company should do better for this man,the coal mine company should be more understanding that people like him need to spend more time with there family and be paid better to spend more time with that family so that he doesn’t have to attend games like that and still be appreciated by not just society but his family on his time.
