I'm lucky to have two wonderful, accepting parents. I'm close to both of them. My dad is the one who instilled in me the love of the Game. I can still remember going down to the Reds games in the height of the Big Red Machine Era. We'd take in a business day special together. I also got my love of history from him. When I was a kid, we'd sit around and talk about World War II and the Civil War. Having him say he liked my book means so much to me.
I feel blessed this day, just as I did on Mother's Day, and just as I do every day of my life knowing I have the two best parents in the world. :-) Going to have steaks, hamburgers, and hotdogs on the grill. YAY!
