On Fatherhood 2...

It's Father's Day 2008.

I miss my dad terribly. It's been 13 years since we lost him, and still not a day goes by that I don't think about him. As I tell people, "it's hard being a dad without one." Dad was a huge baseball fan. And now, every time Sparky's having a tough time at the plate, and he's on his 4th, or maybe 5th and final pitch of the at bat...every time I've asked my dad "please help him hit this pitch"...you know that it's worked every single time. So I guess he's not so far away after all.

As for my two sons, it is wholly my honor to be their father. So thank you, boys. I am so very proud to be your dad.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads everywhere.
