I wouldn’t be reading Deadspin at all if it wasn’t for you, sir. Thank you for sharing this with us—I cried a little, laughed, laughed again, and then cried some more and I know that what I felt is a grain of sand compared to everything you and your family have experienced in the last six months!

My five and seven year old kiddos are going to go bananas for this. Pokemon is currently one of the few things they agree on, so it’s a win for me, too!
