What's this?

I took my dad to one game

He's the same age as your dad (I wonder if they knew each other up in the 'burg). He doesn't get around well at all; uses a walker now.

But that one game I took him to. His eyes welled up just a bit sitting in Lane. Mine did to, seeing his. Icing on the cake was that my son was there at the time.

Love your post. It's tough to go through. Hang in there, great2ba
