That's why I wrote that essay for the New York Times, and I just wrote a memoir where I still talk about him, and I think everything that I've done since
It was a start of a bad period of time in the sense of, I think by the time I was, I think 30 or 35, I had done seven eulogies.
I didn't do my father's because I was too destroyed to do it at the time.

in my life.
It was, again, the first cut was deepest, and I know I probably, people will say that I look at him with rose-tinted glasses, but I don't think so.
Even when I became a father, it was kind of like I was trying to figure out how he did it, like I was an apprentice studying a master magician.
How did he push me to succeed without ever making me feel like he was pushing me?
How did he love so unconditionally, but wanting still to make you succeed and please him without making it a precondition?
He was one of the calmest fathers I ever saw.

He took us to a baseball game.
This is a big tradition in America.
And my younger brother had this player that he loved on this other team.
