Damn Yankees

Its pretty busy around our house since Sam's accident.  I think we have put about 70000 miles on my truck since the accident.  Sam's graduation went well.  She had a few days off from therapy graduation week but was glad to get back into it.  She looks forward to working out.  Then one day Sam's Aunt Chris who lives just outside of Seattle called.  She had spoken to her boss and asked if she could use some of the company tickets for Sam to watch the Yankees and Mariners.  Her boss told her to give the family Diamond Box Seat tickets.  Sam was pretty stoked hearing about the games.  It made up a little for her missing Senior trek.  We drove the 918 miles up to Seattle last weekend.  Having great seats to a sporting event like this was terrific but when our hostess said she was taking us out on the field, you should have seen Sam's face.  She stated she had died and gone to heaven.  We spent an hour on the field watching batting practice then was escorted to the dining room for dinner before the game. Dinner was amazing and our seats were right in front of the Yankees on deck circle.  Sam took a lot of pics of her favorite team and got a ball from Robison Cano.  She slept with the ball right next to her that night.  While watching the game Sam and Kaitlin were mentioning how hot the Yankee ball boy was.  Sam encouraged Kaitlin to say hello but couldn't do it.  Next thing you know Sam is waving at the kid and he came over and talked with them after the game.  I gave him a crusty look and he knew his time was up.  The next day Jill, Sam, Kaitlin, and Ashley her cousin went back the next day and watched another game. Of course Uncle Royal and Aunt Chris were superb host.  We had an excellent time the whole weekend. It was great to see family we haven't seen in a while. We were pretty tired when we got home but Sam was ready for therapy the next day.  She has had an awesome attitude and has been working hard.  We appreciated everyone who thinks of us.  I can't thank Aunt Chris and her boss enough for making my Sam's day.  Keep praying for Sam and all those who are in her situation.  Good things will come.
