The Swamp

by Mark Silva

All you need is love.

It's hard to remember that, with all that's been going on around Washington lately. But it's easy to retrieve that thought, when you think about the father who caught a foul ball at a Phillies game this week, gave it to his three-year-old daughter, Emily, and watched the little girl toss it back in the game. What did she get?

Big hug.

Better than a foul ball any day of the week.

How sad a statement. The one post filled with kind human emotion....goes without remark. maybe I'm as bad as the rest......but I ache to have this back again. 1 good man teaching his daughter compassion and love. Bravo!


How dare that little girl share her baseball w/o a gov't program telling her how to do it. How about that dad giving a hug to his daughter w/o a gov't scoial service program showing him how?

Compassion done w/o gov't involvement - who would have thunk it possible?


The video tells it all. What more can one say - except - Bravo!
