Ray: “(choking back tears) Hey… Dad?…. you wanna have a catch?”
Dad: “I’d like that…”
(Via MovieWavs Page.)
That line and scene from the “Field of Dreams” movie always gets to me.
My father is dead, and I’ll never play catch with him again (unless we meet again in Heaven).
Playing catch with my Dad was one of the happiest experiences with him I had when I was a child.
We did not part on the best of terms, but that is all in the past. I feel he is watching over me from Heaven, and is probably wondering why I am wasting a perfectly good sunny day sitting inside typing on my computer, when I can be outside doing something in the yard. (Unless there was a baseball game on TV, that might merit staying in. But we don’t have cable or satellite TV, so that’s out. 🙁 The Yankees might be on the radio, but I hate the Yankees. 😉 )
Later…
I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
Awww…honey! I love you!
