A Guest Post from my wife for Father's Day - on honoring legacies, perseverance, & having patience:
Aaron and his father Doug’s relationship can be traced through baseball. When Aaron was young, Doug bought him his first ballpark frank, introduced him to the plastic ballpark cap filled with ice cream, was the one to stand beside him singing “take me out to the ballgame” all those 7th innings. They sat in the bright colored Astrodome seats together cheering for the Astros. Doug taught Aaron to use a glove and hit the ball. Doug went to Aaron’s little league games and told him he did well no matter how he did.
