00:00Dad was a diehard Atlanta Braves fan and Georgia Bulldogs fan.
00:04I remember going to some Braves games with him at Fulton County Stadium.
00:08He would always park in this older gentleman's driveway and maybe pay him a few dollars.
00:12We would walk through the tunnel and buy a bag of boiled peanuts from the same elderly street vendor.
00:17The peanut man would always say,
00:18Hello, Mr. Pete.
00:20I was young and I asked Dad how he always remembered his name.
00:23One of the many life lessons Dad taught all of us
00:26was that being a little person, people will always remember you.
00:29It is up to you on what they will remember about you.
00:39He also said...
00:43He also said we are little people.
00:45Some may judge us by our size.
00:47When you shake hands with somebody, squeeze it hard, son.
00:50Let them know you're strong.
00:53When your parents pass away, it is sad.
00:58But if you have a parent that was strong in their faith and a man like Papi,
01:06it's a blessing to us now because we got somebody else to talk to.
01:09And I'm just not saying that.
01:11I really, really mean that.
01:18That's it.
01:21That's it.
01:24That's good, Dad.
01:26That's really good.
01:31Dad, we just gotta get through tomorrow.
01:50We just gotta get through tomorrow.
