help us be stronger and "get it," sooner than the rest; please e-mail would 
love to hear from you Regards Jeanne G

>> Hello Sergio,
>>
>> I had not read the message when I sent the first reply. I received this
>> email on several occasions and I open it every time. I always get a 
>> really
>> good cry as I am truly doing right now. What I love about this the most 
>> is
>> that the game of life was played out in this little ballpark and though
>> Shae
>> never got to experience this again, he got to experience it. What saddens
>> me
>> is that many people would give someone like Shae a chance in something
>> that
>> tomorrow might not matter. But in life, most no one will give that same
>> opportunity for a "Shae" a job. This is why I do what I do. I would love
>> to
>> find out who that father is and tell him how much Shae has changed my 
>> life
>> and how I wish I could see him here and not later. As one email I 
>> received
>> last week said, You will meet a lot of people in heaven that you never
>> knew
>> but who wanted to meet you. Shae is one who I want to meet. He lets me
>> know
>> that maybe there are bosses and managers who suddenly become the pitcher
>> and
>> the right fielder and I just hope I can be that shortstop that guides the
>> Shae's of this world to thirds and finally home. Thank you so much for
>> sending this to me. I did not know that I needed a good cry but I am 
>> happy
>> for the tears that will now be shorting out my keyboard. When you get 
>> that
>> job, I want you to become that pitcher who recognized that the other team
>> had put winning aside . Be that Shortstop who guided the Shae's to third
>> base. Gather your co-workers to be the crowd who chants Shae Shae Shae 
>> and
>> then meet him at home plate. You will care less about the paycheck that
>> week
>> and more about the Win. Nobody lost that day. Both teams, won. Both
>> Routing
>> Sections won and Shae won the hearts of everyone involved in the game.
>> Last
>> of All, I won a love for Shae  and all the people like Shae, who if given
>> a
>> little chance and little bit of guidance, they too, can come home with a
>> smile on their face and a sense of pride, no matter what they do all day.
>>
>> Thanks,
>>
