He still has his undivided passion for sports, though. He is still on top of the sports world and is up to date on what is happening in the world of sports.
Thank God it is baseball season, too. Baseball is not only his favorite sport but it is on every day, which means he can find entertainment and relaxation almost every day.
While he watches the Cubs play, I notice something quite extraordinary: he is at peace. All of the problems in the world seem to go away for that time (well, except for the Cubs' hitting woes, but that’s another story altogether).
I also notice something else while he watches the Cubs play: he doesn't hesitate to smile. Making him smile as of late is a hard task, and when he does smile, it's a great moment for everyone.
He still wears a Chicago Cubs or Notre Dame jersey almost every day. If you ask him the start time of an upcoming sporting event for one of his favorite teams, he can tell you with ease. He also watches all nine innings of play for the Cubs, depending on the start time.
Although he can no longer do things he once could, he remains the biggest sports fan I know. I hope I can remain a sports fan as long as he has and hopefully when life throws adversity my way, I will maintain my passion for sports, too.
My Grandpa Farver gave me one of the greatest gifts anyone could ever pass on to another human being: the world of sports.
He opened the door to sports for me and as soon as the door opened, I was flooded with thoughts, goals, wild imaginations, and most importantly, a lifetime full of happiness and ecstasy.
I hope I can pass my passion for sports onto my son, and his son, as well as my Grandpa was able to pass it along to me.
Thank you, Grandpa, and I hope to watch many more games and sporting events with you.
I love you.
