A man by the name of Bob Hoskins got a massive surprise in his hospice room, a surprise visit from Maple Leafs Defenseman TJ Brodie.
Hoskins' daughter told reporters that a volunteer at Chatam-Kent Hospice by the name of Mike arranged the meet-up after he discovered that Mr. Hoskins was a lifelong Leafs fan, and had his room covered the Maple Leafs memorabilia.
A Heartwarming Day for the Hoskins Family
Mr. Hoskins' daughter Sue shared some more comments:
"This memory will last with my family forever. It's going to be such a special moment when my Dad does pass that we're going to have that in our hearts forever.
"It was definitely an uplifting moment for our entire family and emotional. The tears were flowing and we were just so happy that T.J. took time out of his day to come and meet my Dad. I couldn't have asked for a better day,"
"We had the nurses put my Dad's teeth back in so he was able to talk with T.J. and my Dad mentioned something about his teeth and T.J. goes no problem, I have teeth problems too,"
Sue also took the time to mention how gracious, humble and funny Brodie is, and how grateful her entire family is to him for taking the time to visit.
