Will you help bring a smile to the face of a child who is battling cancer? I’m raising money for Caps For Kids to give precious kids a baseball hat autographed by their hero. Will you give? Take a minute to give to a child!

    Great story with a great message for all of us, Janis. Really struck a chord with me and how I am when my son plays. I’m sure you struck a chord with many other people, too.

    Hey Jannis, it’s nice to see other people who share the same sentiments. I too have always experienced difficulty in watching my kid struggle on the court (we both love basketball). I always teach my kid to take good care of the ball and don’t waste any possessions but mistakes can happen sometimes and it always hurt to see it happen.
