'My father was always the pitcher when the neighborhood got together to play baseball,' Jill Sell writes. 'It never occurred to me until years later that was because he couldn’t run the bases.'
The family story goes that Cyrus came to visit his wife in the hospital one day and struck up a conversation with my father. He came back the next day with an almost brand-new pair of shoes that he claimed hurt his feet and figured my father might want them.
Sometimes people in public would come up to my father and talk loudly, assuming because he couldn’t walk without aid, he must have been hearing impaired as well. If some kids complained this was taking time away from their play, I wanted to tell them they really didn’t want to miss running through a field, climbing a tree or jumping across a rain puddle. But I didn’t. I was silent.
