Rick’s favorite movie was Field of Dreams. I’d like to think it is because we saw it on our first date. In my heart I know it had more to do with the story of Kevin Costner’s character meeting his father years after his father’s passing. Rick was also a big fan of baseball. He played in his younger days and even tried on his 1974 little league championship jacket about a year ago!
A couple of week’s after Rick passed, Annika and I drove to Ames, IA to move her out of her apartment. On the way we visited the Field of Dreams ballpark and movie set in Dyers, Iowa. And we have re-watched the movie many times. And we cried, way more than Rick used to when he watched it.
I imagine Rick in heaven playing catch with his dad David, in the field of his dreams.
