WHEN OUR FATHERS PASS By Brad Cooney

You know? I recently saw a beautiful tribute that a boxing writer published about his father. I lost my father about a year and a half ago, and I miss him terribly. When I read this writers tribute to his dad (God rest his soul), I was moved. Sometimes when I think about my dad, I will look up, and ask him, "pops, did I make the right move on that one?" It's funny, even with a year and a half gone by since my dad checked into heaven, I still hope that he's proud of me. I think we all should remember our parents when they pass, and continue to behave in a way that would make them proud.
