David Ortiz shares awesome moment with daughter weeks after release from hospital

It has been less than a month since David Ortiz was released from the hospital, and the former Boston Red Sox slugger was able to be a part of a major milestone in his daughter’s life over the weekend.

Ortiz, who had to undergo extensive surgery after being shot in the back in the Dominican Republic on June 9, helped move his daughter Alex into her college dorm. He shared some photos and wrote about the experience on Instagram.

“A life experience take place on us dropping off one of my kids at college….. good luck with everything and remember ‘to be great you have to bring the best out of you everyday’ love you….mom & dad!!!” Ortiz wrote.

Ortiz is lucky to be alive, so being able to help move his daughter into college must have meant more to him than he could have ever imagined it would. The 43-year-old sustained serious injuries after he was shot in the back in an attempted assassination, but we have since heard numerous updates about his progress — including one from Big Papi himself — that all sound encouraging. It’s good to see Ortiz back on his feet.
