narrative
A wise man once said, "If you were going to die tomorrow and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? Why are you waiting?" At the time, family and friends told me this happened for a reason. They told me he was called to a better place. I never told him how much he meant to me. I wish I had the chance to thank him for the life lessons he taught me. If I could be blessed enough to spend just one more moment with him, I would tell him he has touched my life with such an impact that I will never be the same. I remember walking timidly toward the baseball field on the first day of little league. At the age of six, nothing could be more terrifying than a brand new town with brand new kids. Scared and alone I walked onto the field like an outsider who did not belong. That is when I first net the man that would not only impact my life, but also touch the hearts of everyone lucky enough to cross his path. He was a big Italian man, with a smile from ear to ear, and the kind of guy you could not be in a bad mood around, somehow he always knew exactly what you needed to hear. George Monge took me under his wing like an eagle adopting an abandoned chick. I will never forget the way
His son Mike played on the team as well, and automatically we clicked. It seemed as though the whole town had come in his honor. From that point on, we became inseparable we were basically brothers. ""Yea, Coach?""If you were going to die tomorrow and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? Why are you waiting?"At the time, his words flew right over my head. He meant so many thing to so many people. He always told us to cease the moment, "Carpe deim", he would say. He presented me as his number one pitcher, his "Ace", a name that will stick with me forever. I could not believe the strong man I looked up to had been defeated. I should have answered the question right there. I put my index and middle finger up to my lips. As a result, my family and the Monge family grew extremely close. I should have answered, I would call you coach and thank you for everything you have done for me. A man who lived his life for others, and a man who's legacy will live on long after him. He knew we should treasure the time we have together.
