Rob would have been an awesome dad.
How many years did he coach hockey? Not the same as parenting but a lot of kids are better for him having been in their lives.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Maria, I have no words for you. All the hugs you can stand. And an ear to listen any time.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
God this just sucks more and more. I keep remembering things we were going to do that we kept putting off.

David, 11 years more or less. These kids are blowing up Facebook. I'm floored by the response.

That's so hard. But your life goes forward from this point and now you know that.

That was his passion and he did a lot of good in their lives. That's really his legacy.

I'll also note that he changed my life and Emmett's, as I was pretty hesitant to embrace all the work and responsibility that comes with joining a tournament team when Emmett was a wee bit of 8 years old. But you talked about Rob and his work and that was a big influence on my decision. So a room full of trophies, and a six banners over Albany Little League later, it was absolutely the right choice for Emmett.

Oh holy Christ, I just got a text from one of his boys--the one he was probably closest to--asking if I had a valentine today, and if not would I please be his because he owes it to his big brother. Bawling now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aw, man. He had a marvellous impact, if they'll reach out to you this way. That's a lovely in memoriam.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, that's amazing. Hec is right, he left a wonderful legacy with those kids.
