We always love to share heartwarming stories that we hear about.  This one came courtesy of The PostGame Staff.

A high school wrestler’s amazing gesture after a loss in the state championship match brought tears to the eyes of many spectators, and it’s not hard to see why.

After falling to Mitchell McKee in Minnesota’s 120-pound class, Malik Stewart went over and embraced McKee’s father, Steve, who is battling terminal cancer.

“I got a little teary because I lost the match, and I knew the hard times he was going through,” recalled Stewart.  “The crowd went wild and I heard a couple people say after I did it — that was pretty classy — but I just did it straight from the heart.”

As it turns out, Stewart can relate to what Mitchell McKee is going through. Stewart’s father suffered a heart attack and died when Stewart was 7.

“It was a big match for him and to be able to hug my dad like that and not be mad and storm off like a lot of kids do,” McKee said. “Really respectful.”

We are so grateful to hear real life stories such as this one.  Oh yes, they add to the love, joy and abundance in life!
