My daughter's new boyfriend came over last night to meet us. I told him that my wife is deaf in one ear, so he should speak loudly. I also told my wife that our daughter's new boyfriend is special needs.
How was your night?
My stepdad, Greg, never said 'I love you.' He was a hard man. Worked construction. Came home, ate, slept. He paid for my college. He paid for my car. But he never hugged me. I always thought he resented me. I wasn't his real son. Greg died of a heart attack last week. I was cleaning out his truck. In the glove box, I found a worn-out notebook. It was a diary. Entry 1: Met a woman with a boy today. The boy looks sad. I want to make him smile. Entry 50: The boy needs braces. Picking up extra shifts. Entry 200: He graduated today. I stayed in the back so I wouldn't embarrass him with my dirty work clothes. I've never been prouder. Entry 500: I wish I knew how to talk to him. I just hope he knows I’d die for him. I sat in the driver's seat of his dusty truck and cried until I couldn't breathe. He didn't say it. He did it. Every single day. Love isn't always words. Sometimes, it’s calloused hands and a tired back.

Hayden Shock thought he was the lucky winner of pregame field passes this past Sunday.
Instead, he got the shock of a lifetime.
@zfrazier54, who knows sign language because members of his family are deaf, was on-hand to congratulate him & present his Super Bowl LX tickets.
The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t what is wrong with baseball. It’s these sad greedy pieces of garbage owners that is what’s wrong with the sport.
The popularity of baseball is growing rapidly and some of these teams will try to shed salary. Feel awful for fans of these teams.
