Sean heads for Florida...
He left this morning at 6 a.m. to head out for minor league spring training. Camp starts March 9th but since he is driving..I know all the way to Florida..he;s crazy..he wanted to give himself an extra day or two to get there and unwind. Spring training is usually about 4 weeks long. The coaches and coordinators for the Washington Nationals, watch the players of all different ages and levels and see where they are at and where they think they should be for the upcoming season. Some will get moved up, some will get moved down and some will get released. And just because you may start the season somewhere, doesn't mean they'll finish there either, they can basically do what they want with them. So please keep him in your prayers! He is not as ready as he normally is for obvious reasons. He wasn't sure if he was even going to continue with baseball or quite and get into the family business. Sort of pick up where his Dad and Patrick left off. But i am so proud of him for continuing on his career path. God hasn't closed this door for him . If HE doesn't want Sean there, HE will make that very clear.

A tragedy such as this happening in a close-knit family like the Rooneys will take a toll on a person. Sean is a great baseball player; he has the mind-set, skills and discipline needed to excel. I know he's very sad now, but thru the rigors of practice, practice, pratice at something he loves to do, perhaps this will prove a therapy to start healing. His father and brother both loved baseball as well; I encourage, urge, Sean not to give up his career because I just know that Bill and Patrick are watching him and cheering him on from above. Love to all the Rooneys and God bless.
ReplyDeleteI know Sean is very unhappy and sometimes angry about the loss of his father and brother--I can completely empathize as I lost my son in an accident--I wondered then, and still do, why God would let such horrible things happen to such good people. I know the people who love Sean are encouraging him onward and upward in his baseball career--and I know too that Bill and Patrick, if they could find a way to let Sean know, are right there with him every step of the way, not wanting Sean to give up his dream just because they can no longer be with him in person or cheer him on at his games. God bless you both and may you find peace and comfort in the love of your family and friends. As for me, I'll keep cheering for Sean at each and every game, and wishing him a successful, rewarding career.
