On a Saturday afternoon with sports games galore, there’s no shortage of feel-good stories.

But this one, featuring the Chicago Bears’ Danny Trevathan, is particularly touching.

After learning that his grandmother, Dorothy McElroy, had never seen him play in Chicago because of her battle with cancer, the Bears decided to change that. At a team meeting, with Trevathan in the back of the huddle, head coach Matt Nagy had a surprise.

Even when he was called up to the front, the linebacker had no idea that his grandmother had just arrived in style on a golf cart.

A long hug with grandma came next followed by a hug with Nagy.

If that wasn’t enough for your heartstrings, Trevathan’s complete gratitude and appreciation for his team should do it.

McElroy will be in the stands as her grandson and the Bears take on the New England Patriots on Sunday.
