The moving story of the miner covered in coal

All the coal dust in the world could not prevent Michael McGuire from attending a college basket game with his son. And the touching photo went viral.

His name is Micheal McGuire and he is a coal miner from Pikeville (Kentucky, United States). She said she had about 45 minutes to get from work to the game and didn't want to miss a moment of her son's first time at a basketgame.

McGuire was working in the mine. Covered in soot from head to toe, he was observed sitting in the stands with his 3-year-old son, Easton. His wife told Mollie that it was very important to Michael to participate in the game. And the family met at the arena.

"My family's American dream began in a coal mine," the coach of the college John Caliparibasket team wrote.
