to explain to my nephew the rules
I am reminded
of the White Sox games
my dad took me to
and did the same
I am reminded
of a story my Aunt Anne likes to tell
about my Uncle John
before he passed
explaining football to me
as a toddler
watching a Bears game
and telling her
"He gets it!"
I am reminded
of a story my dad likes to tell
about listening to a Black Hawks game
with his dad
driving home from a trip
weeks before my grandfather passed
I am reminded
that sport
and togetherness
can heal
or at least
offer respite
