On a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, contestant Sarah had everyone scratching their heads—host Pat Sajak included—with her odd letter picks. Clear choices were right there, but she went for letters that didn’t jive with the puzzle.
After a few rounds, Pat gently probed Sarah about her choices. Turns out, she’d made a promise to her son, who was watching from home, that she’d only use letters from his name while playing. Her tactic didn’t score her the win, but her sweet commitment to her son sure tugged at Pat’s and the audience’s heartstrings.
This heart-melting moment quickly spread like wildfire, serving as a reminder of how family ties can drive us to do some pretty unique things.
