My Amazing Father and His Ability to Teach Others

When I read this story, my eyes welled up with tears.  I talked about this little girl just a week ago and how Dad had inspired and coached her on the fluttering knuckleball.  But, to read the comments she wrote about the man I am honored to call my Father was truly humbling.  How lucky I am to have had 33 beautiful years with him.  He is my forever angel and watching over all of us each and every day.  I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did, especially Chelsea’s quotes.
