Thank god, it was nice out here in the NYC area or I'd go bugfuck.

All I can add is that after coming home from the ballpark, trying not to think about it being the last time I saw Doc, I saw clips of the interview (thank you, Sportsnet West) and I felt a lot better. Seeing Doc so obviously affected by how we greeted him last night really, really helped. He knows how much we love him and for me, that's enough. I still don't know what I'll do if the worst happens, but at least I'm now at peace about it, knowing that he doesn't really want to go either.MK Piatkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121227101455959849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-21905283148624560512009-07-25T14:19:04.868-04:002009-07-25T14:19:04.868-04:00So there is hope.
