New York New York


This blog is not about Scott and I. However it is about the experience my dad and my brother in law Steve are experiencing today. My dad and Steve headed to New York today to see watch the Yankees play the Boston Red Sox. Thanks to my sister and my mother, Dad and Steve received this wonderful gift from them for Christmas, one day in New York to watch the Yankees play the Red Sox. My dad has been a Yankee fan his whole life. I am a Yankee Fan. It is pretty obvious with the name of our animals Jeter and Torre. Today my dad spent all day at Yankee stadium and his exact words were " I am Heaven." This is an experience I am so grateful my dad got to experience along with Steve, the second biggest Yankee fan I know next to my father. My dad has fulfilled his dream of going Yankee Stadium, touching Babe Ruth and most of all watching them play their biggest rival. I wish I could see the excitement in my fathers eyes however when I talked to him on the phone today about 6 times I could hear the excitement in his voice and that means the world to me. Scott has promised to take me to Yankee Stadium next year and I am hoping my dad can relive his dream twice. Although Yankees may miss the playoffs this year it is worth it. My dad got to live his dream.
