Appreciating the Moment by Jay Hasheider

Summary:
The author describes the bond between a father and son. They express mixed feelings of joy and sadness through their process of separation to college. A father and son shared a similar interest in baseball. Together they would watch the Arizona Cardinal games, their home town team. The connection they have towards the game is coming to an end. As they pack the remaining items they stop to watch the ending moments of their last Cardinals game together. They witnessed the Cardinals come back for a win. The last father son moment before ending the separation.

Response:
The author seems to conclude separation is lungful hoped but filled with mixed emotions. I think the bonds shared between father and son make the separation a more difficult and saddened moment. I was especially moved by the father and sons last special moment. I felt the joy they shared towards the game seeing the Cardinals come back for an amazing win. I Believe that was a great ending.
