The weekend after Christmas my parents host a dinner for the De La Salle basketball team on their way to a basketball tourney. Fun fact- my dad is a De La Salle alma mater and is still a strong supporter. He loves it, he loves to be around the kids and loves to find opportunities to encourage them. This year he invited Sully to come to Mitchell with him to watch a game, Sully had so much fun. He was telling us about his day and said he got to give a bunch of high 5s and was able to go into the locker room with my dad to talk to the players. He said "mom, it was so cool, everyone knew grandpa and wanted to talk to him!" I could just picture it. He talked it up so much, in fact, that we all decided to join my dad for the trip the following afternoon, we all wanted to get in on the fun. We left a couple of hours early in order to grab dinner, it was probably my first time in Mitchell in 10 years. It was a great game, but spending uninterrupted time with my dad and family was the icing on the cake, we look forward to next year, I think it will be the 14th year (I'll fact check that with my dad this week).
