Whatever you do today, go pick up the latest edition of Sports Illustrated and read Rick Reilly’s article titled Trumpeting the Father of the Year. The article is about a father who makes certain that his special needs child gets to march in the Univeristy of Louisville marching band. To say the least, I wept as I read the article hoping that I will be half the father to Ira that this guy is to his son.
Please, go read the article. It will inspire you.

Welcome to the blog of Joe Hays, minister for Christ's Church for Brooklyn. We are a loving community of believers who seek to be the hands and feet of Christ, in service to our neighbors in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn and beyond.
Couldn’t read it, Joe, because I’m not an SI subscriber. I usually just read all of Rick Reilly’s columns when I’m at your apartment.

Great post Joe and great article - you are very inspiring to me my man - very much so. But, I do agree - I question if I could be that kind of dad - maybe we’re too critical of our parenting potential?
