Justin Turner’s 2018 season suffered an unexpected setback when the Dodger third baseman was hit by a pitch in spring training, resulting in a broken wrist that will sideline him for the early stretch of the regular season. While this development was unwelcome news to all Dodgers fans, one very young boy offered up some kind words and an offer to kickstart Turner’s recovery with a “kiss to his boo-boo” upon learning of the injury.
Below is the play in question that will delay Turner’s campaign with the NLB champs.
Andrew Riddle, a Twitter user with the Dodger-friendly handle agr_dodgers22, shared with the injured player a video of his son, Declan, decked out in an L.A. cap, sending his get-well wishes to the sidelined player.
Turner, moved by the video and the sentiment, repaid the kindness less than two hours later, offering Declan and his dad a couple of tickets to his first game back from injury.
While we didn’t get Declan’s response to the gracious offer, it’s a safe bet that his sentiments echo his father’s in his subsequent tweet.
In good news for Declan, Andrew, and certainly Turner himself, the Dodger learned the injury won’t require surgery. Turner will be on the mend with a brace for a few days before he can return to light duty.
No doubt Declan’s in a hurry to get to that game — and this development means that day may come sooner than anyone realized.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
