Hey Dad, Do You Want To Have A Catch?
It's funny that I think about that Lou Gehrig line because my mind is always on sports and the man who gave me that gift was taken from me so young, but left a lasting impact. My father was a truly great man, one who I was told my whole life how great he was, and not only after he passed. In a world full of wrong directions that he could have taken, he always seemed to take the right path, and as a dad now, I still don't know how he always made the right choices. He didn't drink, smoke or seemingly have any vices. He worked hard and long hours, yet always had the energy to come home and play with his kids. My father was taken from me at a very early age and was sick for most of the life that I had with him. Hard work, dedication to your kids and family and love are all aspects that he tried to install into me. I know I'll never live up to the incredible man that he was, but I try very hard to.
