I've mentioned this before...he asked me to marry him at a Royals game and had made arrangements for us to be on the big screen. Seeing the rain this morning brought me back to that day. The game was a rainout, so he asked me under an umbrella while everyone else was leaving the ballpark. He had a sign stuck up his sleeve that said SHE SAID YES...I guess he was pretty confident. The ink on the sign ran and smeared. Nothing really mattered to me at that moment but him.
His dream was to take Tye to games, eat peanuts and enjoy the moments. It was all about the love of the game. It makes me angry to think those moments were ripped from them. I can't ever replace that 1st daddy/son baseball game, regardless of all the ways I will be able to help Tye.
So the Royals have a special place in my heart. Maybe Brian can be their guardian angel to help this be a great year!

Jenni - Every underdog needs a hero - and Brian held up so many - from his beloved Royals to a struggling student. Something tells me that opening day for the Royals will always have a special place in Tye's heart - especially with you at the helm of keeping Brian's memory alive. We love you. Teak & Family
Hey, Jenni - My theory is that the Royals are getting off to a good start this year because Brian is up there helping them out & cheering them on. I'm sure Tye will be a big fan also & carry on his dad's legacy..it's in the genese, isn't it?! I remember all the planning, etc, that Brian put in to that Royals game when he was going to propose. We had such fun listening to him bounce ideas off of us in the office. He was definitely one in a million. God Bless... Cindy
