@ClevelandDad posted:My son loved baseball with all his heart and it was tough for him to say goodbye to the game. He found out he was about to be a father and he could no longer pursue his bachelor ways. Thus, life made the choice for him. He cried when he admitted he could no longer do (earn a living) at what he loved most. I told him when you see your son someday hit a homerun or do something good in baseball, the thrill is the same as if YOU did (or were still doing) those things.
Great perspective. In my own personal experience I got more enjoyment out of watching my sons do something great than anything I ever did myself.
