re: My dad died 14 years ago today…

My dad and I used to play a lot of catch. Football or baseball, my dad was there. We had a game where we'd play catch until he got tired, then he'd announce "next drop ends it" which meant the next time I didn't catch a pass or baseball toss, game over. I remember the shite out of diving for tosses to keep it going.

Fast forward 30 years, I play the same game with my kid. Then my dad comes in town and starts playing the same damn game with my son and it's the most surreal, absolutely insane moment of my life. They were just goofing around but I saw my whole childhood right there.

Play with your kids. Just in case you live to play with your grandkids.
