Baseball player lands his first major contract and pays off his parents' debt

A major career milestone can mean the world to someone—and often, it’s just as meaningful for the family who supported them along the way. In a heartwarming example, a young athlete used his first professional contract to give back to his parents in the most touching way. Brady Singer, known as @Bsinger51 on X, shared a video capturing the emotional moment when his parents learned he had paid off their debts as a thank-you for their sacrifices.

The envelope Singer gave his parents was marked with the heartfelt message, "I love you, mom and dad." As the video begins, his parents can be seen seated at the table, opening the letter inside. Singer's mother reads aloud, her voice filled with emotion: "Dear Mom and Dad, I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done to help me reach my dreams, from Woodley Field to Coffin's. There is absolutely no way I could have done all this by myself. Both of you constantly took off work and spent every dime you made to put a smile on my face. My smile of appreciation for both of you has never stopped and never will." She continued, "I will always remember traveling around Florida for baseball, trying to eat cheaply to save money, but I never could because you both wanted me to have the best of everything to help me pursue my dreams."

"The money both of you spent on travel, food, clothes, gear, hotel and all those Gatorades I drank is much more than I could ever give you. But there is something that I want to give to you. I am paying off the loan from the bank. Also, I paid off all your debt as well," the mom paused for a moment before she read it. "What?" she said in absolute shock. "Now, instead of saving money every weekend to replace the savings you drained on baseball, you can spend it on yourselves because you deserve the very best. I want you both to know how much I appreciate you and how none of this would have been possible without you," she continued reading it while getting emotional.

"Your giving hearts helped to shape my tiny dream into a reality. I love you both more than you could ever imagine and will never forget what you both have done. Now, let's go celebrate. Merry Christmas," the letter highlighted. "Love always, Brady," the letter concluded. The caption read, "Today is very special to my heart. To give back to the two people who have given up everything to support my brother and me. I can't thank them enough. Love you, Mom and Dad." People in the comments applauded the son's wholesome gesture.

If the world was filled with sons like you, the world would be an amazing place." @99epr commented, "Parents give up everything for the dream of their son to make it to the show. They do whatever it takes and never look back. They never question themselves when other parents question and think it's a waste. Believe in the dream!" @Pothole069 remarked, "That's awesome. You just instantly became a favorite of mine. I can't wait to meet you one day and shake your hand. Best of luck to you and Merry Christmas.
