When we got home from your dads funeral, the mail had arrived and in it was an invitation to a baby shower. This first time mom is having a little boy and across the top was the theme of the party...Take Me Out to the Ballgame. I smiled for Joe and this new life about to happen. I will always remember that tie to your dad. Thanks for that!
