"Field of Dreams"

If this movie doesn't get you choked up, then you don't have a heart in your chest.

I think people miss it when they say it is a baseball film. I don't think it is. It's a movie about fathers and sons. And if you have ever been one or the other (or both), then Field of Dreams will speak to you.

I lost my father 20 years ago. I was always thankful I told him how much I appreciated how he raised me. He was a drill sergeant in the Army. Growing up, I hated the way he treated and raise me. I thought is was so tough. As I got older, I understand why he did it and thanked him. It was just before he died. My wife, who was the only girl/woman he really took a liking to, tells me all the time I am exactly like my father. I don't see it, but she says it is true. In my mind, I could never be the man my father was.

To this day, every time I see this clip, I think about him and the clip makes me cry. I miss him so much. He is the reason I am the man I am today.

If he is looking down from heaven right now, I want him to know I think about him everyday. I love you Dad. Thanks for making the person I am now.

"Life it hard. If you are not tough, no one will take care of you." - My father.
