My original fear that my daughter was going to die before BettyJane and myself has now been replaced with the fear that she is going to outlive us.

When the zone calls, you must listen.
You never know how long being in the zone lasts.
It is a cardinal rule - you must take advantage of every second that you are in the zone.

Sometimes life is your opponent and just showing up is a victory.

In a proud fatherly sadomasicisticly way, I am thrilled when I get hit. As every deep purple bruise on my body represented a perfect swing.
If I were to lift my shirt at any time there would be 4-5 bruises on my body. ...
As soon as I was able to, I would throw batting practice again from the short distance, and take another shot if necessary to keep the boys in the zone.

There is something special about baseball that goes far deeper than being a game. It is the father-son relationship that is built, the life lessons that are taught in the process of playing a game and the ability to overcome not succeeding all of the time and still considering yourself a success.

If you had one last breath - what would you say?
If you had one hour to use your limbs before you would lose the use of them forever - would you sit there on the coach?
If you knew that you wouldn't see tomorrow who would you make amends with?
If you knew you had only an hour left on this earth - what would be so pressing that you just had to do it, say it, or see it?
Well there is something that I can guarantee - that one day you will have one day, one hour and one breath left.
Just make sure that before that day that you have said, done and experienced everything that you dream of doing now.
Do it now - that is what today is for.
So pick up the phone and call an old friend that you have fallen out of touch with.
Get out and run a mile and use your body and sweat.
Seek out someone in your life to say your sorry to. Seek someone In your life that you need to thank. Seek someone in your life that you need to express your feelings of love to.
Then when that day comes you will be ok with it all.

The fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone.
When you understand and accept this then nothing, or no one can deny you greatness.
When your dreams are big enough the odds just don't matter.

I guarantee that tomorrow there will be something that will happen, that has never happened before.
That is something to look forward too.
And the best part of tomorrow is that there is another one just a day later.
