Happy book birthday to my amazing and sweet dad who we miss everyday! It\u2019s been one year today since his book, A Tale of Two Seasons<\/a>, made it out into the world last October 22. My mom and I were honored to see to it that it become published after all the years he poured into writing it. (Thank you ACU Press<\/a> and End Game Press<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to those who have read his words and if you haven\u2019t yet, what are you waiting for? \ud83d\ude09 My dad was the best – so full of wit and wisdom! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: I think everyone should write a book to leave for the world when they are gone. I\u2019m so thankful my dad did that. His book is a treasure. And it\u2019s about so much more than just basketball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
