Friends,
As I've said here many times, my dad raised me up on the Caps from Day 1.
You may (or may not) have noticed that I've not been around much lately. That's because he passed away after a long battle with multiple myeloma on February 26, and sick as it is, one of my first thoughts was that he never got to see his beloved team hoist the Stanley Cup.
In the weeks since his death, I've been mulling over a letter to Uncle Ted about my dad... not only because he was a lifelong fan and STH, but because he knew Ted personally, both as his dentist and as the dentist to the Wizards. (He was offered the Caps, too, but confessed to me that he hadn't done that kind of crisis dental work in way too long. )
I've never received a reply to any email I sent Leonsis, but I feel compelled to tell him who my dad was, what he went through, and what the Caps meant to him. Maybe ask for a small donation from the team to myeloma research via my dad's tribute page or something.
So I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about such a letter. Is it worth doing? Does he still even use/respond to the old email?
Thanks in advance,
Cali
