Lost passion, hope it comes back

[jerseygary]

Paul, I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad. My Pop died almost 2 years ago and he was the one guy I talked baseball with. We would talk a few times a week on the phone and most of our conversations revolved about baseball and it's history and characters. We'd try to out-trivia one another and some of the funniest memories I have is him calling me at work, not saying hello or anything, but firing what he thought was an impossible baseball history trivia question. More often than not I'd get it right and he'd mutter a swearword and slam the phone down! Still brings a smile to my face thinking abot it... When he died, I lost all interest in the game and more importantly, its history. After about 6 months I started writing and illustrating a blog where I draw and write about the kind of players I used to talk to my Pop about. It doesn't bring the guy back, but at least in a small way I feel like I still talk to him, however one-side.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
