Our weekend started with a drive to Cleveland, Ohio to watch Tony dive in his first conference championship but it turned out to be much more than that. It was my mom and dad climbing in the car for the long drive and many hours in the bleachers to watch their grandson. It was David thousands miles away requesting "keep me in the loop". It was a high school dive coach wanting to know everything. It was Tony living his dream of diving in college.
At the same time in Chattanooga, TN McCallie awarded the second Joe Restaino Scholarship. Appropriately passed on to another Honor Scholar David Paul who will travel to Beijing this summer offering a glimpse into another world and someday he will make a difference because of this opportunity.
Diving, scholarships, my elderly parents making the effort was all wonderful. The best was David's support for Tony. He was so far away but still so close. And my wish for these brothers is their love and support for each other will continue for many years.
