Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all Indian moms – past and present. Thank you for sharing your children with Bob and me for the past 25 years. It has given us great joy – watching them learn and play the game Bob has always loved, and I have grown to love (really, what choice did I have?).
Our kids, now with kids of their own, were all athletes in various sports. And there was nothing we loved more than watching them compete. Now, our grandkids – and your sons – fill that void.
We can’t even imagine a life without sports – and certainly not without baseball – not just because we enjoy athletic competition, but because of the unique opportunities and experiences sports provide for kids to develop important life skills; skills they will carry with them far beyond the athletic field – skills that will help them be confident, disciplined, gracious, and resilient adults.
This is why Bob coaches – and why I’m so glad he does.
