happy dad's day
Jun 19, 2009 To celebrate, here’s a story of mine that ran on NPR today about the first time I saw my Dad play ice hockey. He happened to be 71 at the time. A Washington Post photographer took this picture.
I love it. And I loved being there. Happy Father's Day.

WOW - I heard that just this morning on the podcast - I listen to podcasts on Saturday morning while I clean the house. I loved this story (go Dad!), and I love your blog and would never have guessed the two were connected. Small world...
Loved your story Kelly. Your dad sounds dear. What a fun day. So great he continues to do what he enjoys.
your story is fantastic...as is hearing the voices of some very dear friends.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story!
gosh. this was so lovely.
kel, this made me cry. what a sweet story and experience. i called all the children and my husband in the room to listen to your timeless voice and i got chills when i heard your dad and mom. miss you all:)
What a great story! Very inspiring! My husband especially enjoyed it as he is a huge hockey fan.
Thanks for sharing.
What a great story. And to be on NPR - what an honor. Your dad must be a really neat guy.
