53 Days Till I Do

Feb. 21st

20 days!!

Baseball season is just around the corner. Dillon and Ethan are signed up and ready to tear up the city league. There is nothing better as a kid to look in the stands and wave at your parents after a hit or making a throw for an out. I also remember not having parents at a few games. Both my parents are wonderful and busy. They both give time to charitable organizations which may run over in my sports schedule. I would say 85% of the time they attended if not both of them one of them.

As a future parent, Step-Father, I remember my father would always ask about my game if he and mom missed one. He always love to hear the details, I went 1 for 4, striking out 3 times, I stole 2nd base, the pitcher was really tall and threw left handed, Ben hit a home run over the left field wall in the bottom of the 3rd Inning on a fast ball inside pitch, etc. I never thought about why he asked until I now. Even though he missed the game he wanted to make sure I knew he supported me and was there for me. He would always asked if I wanted help hitting or tell me to invite Jonathan (my best friend) over this weekend and go to the park. :)

I know my parents wanted to make all of the games but quality vs. quantity. I want to my boys to know I have unconditional passion in them and infinite love for them as well.
