On this board we talk about how to get our kids to the next level. I had the thrill Sunday to watch some kids just happy to be on the field.
I went to the Miracle League of Lehigh Valley to meet with the president. Miracle League is a specially designed league for handicapped kids. I wanted to find out how they got their league started. I'm interested in starting an organization somewhere in the suburbs of my hometown.
A player (not going to provide a minor's name online) in a wheel chair approached to introduce himself while I was talking to the president and his mother. His mother told him I'm interesting in doing something nice for kids.
The kid responded, "Last Christmas I gave all my presents to kids in the hospital. They needed something to make them happy. I was happy because I was home with my parents."
It's a good thing I had on baseball style sunglasses. The kid made me crack tears. This kid has more perspective on life than a lot of healthy kids. This kid is a real hero.
What was interesting about this place was while watching was an incredible event for me, it was just another day in the life for all the families present.
