A Year Ago


This time last year, Clare was going to the batting cages and her hitting coach as she counted down the start of softball season. Yesterday, she was out in Lincolnshire picking through Chicago sports’ memorabilia for a fundraiser the Valparaiso baseball program will be holding next month.  Guess who volunteered to be the intern in charge of setting up the event?

My father-in-law would forever have his eldest child, my wife, be ten-years old again, so the two of them could spend Sundays together doing puzzles and whatnot.  I want my only child to be forever twenty-one (or –two), batting third in the order, up with runners in scoring position and the game on the line.

The children in question do not have a say in the matter.
