Well, Cuban-American Ohio State receiver Anthony Gonzalez sends greetings to someone else near and dear to him when approached by the cameras:

BY JEFF SHAINFAMILY AFFAIR: Lourdes Gonzalez, 84, of Miami has been a huge influence on grandson Anthony, an Ohio State receiver.

Read the whole wonderful thing here. And make sure to take in the picture of Abuela Gonzalez, it’ll touch your heart.
Abuela’s love and ador their grandchildren!
