So, I was a fourteen year old softball player and LOVED my coach! I kept telling him that I wanted to set him up with my mom, that he NEEDED to meet my mom. I bothered him every single day. He would always say, "I don't date student's moms....quit it!!"I didn't listen and just kept on bugging him.
One day, when we were playing a tough team, our catcher got thrown out of the game, and coach asked me to play catcher. I said a big "hell no." He said, I will do anything, just get in there. I said, "Fine, only if you date my mom." He said, "Fine. Just get in the game."
They went out on a date and within the year, get married! I got to choose my dad.
Over the years, he has been such an amazing father. I often ask how I got so lucky? But I knew they would be perfect for each other and I knew he was a perfect fit to be my dad.
He has always stepped up to teach me, to be sure I was staying on the straight and narrow, to help me whether it was with advice or anything else, to make me laugh, to play Fantasy Football with (Go MainCoon Cats!!), and to just be my dad.
He was a dad to me even before he met my mom, actually, now that I think about it...
I just love him and always will! Only good thoughts, dad!
