Dear Dad,
All I have to say is thank you. You made me fall in love with sports. You made me fall in love with going outside and playing sports. Sitting in on Sundays and watching football and spending my nights at ballparks are my go to. I owe all of this to you. You taught me how to keep score probably before I knew the alphabet. You taught me the Red Sox starting lineup in kindergarten just like some students learned the presidents.
Boston Sports are a huge part of my life and who I am. I am this way because of you and I want to thank you. You've instilled the idea of keeping the faith in me. Even when the Red Sox broke our hearts, we stayed till the end, and always believed there was a chance. Watching the Patriots, going to games, seeing them win the Super Bowl with you by my side is something I will never forget.
Boston Sports are New England Sports. People fall in love, become obsessed, and know all these little fun facts that will blow your mind. I am so glad I can create a dominant baseball, football or basketball fantasy team. That I can correct other kids in my class when they try and talk about Red Sox prospects, or the Patriots' back up QB's. That when I debate with people on who is better and that Tom Brady is not a cheater that I actually know what I am talking about.
So dad, thank you. You have made me the person I am today and Boston Sports are just a part of it. I have fallen in love with sports because of you. I have seen some of the best games in history because of you. I have seen every Boston Sports team win a championship. You've taught me to never stop supporting Boston sports no matter where you are or what you do and I will never stop!!!!
Love,
Your Sports Loving Child
