January 19

Now that Isaac is out of COVID jail, he was able to get back to baseball this afternoon.

It was just a quick one-hour fielding session on one of the local diamonds, but it was good to see him out there again, spots of rust and all. 

When he popped his shoulder out of joint last fall, I had a few panicked moments that made me question his baseball future. It wasn't fun thinking about how a freak injury could strip him of his ability to play the game he loves so much. 

So seeing him doing his thing today --post-COVID, post-injury-- was extra sweet. And my plan moving forward is to savor each moment out on the field as it comes because each of those moments will be a blessing.
