Santino’s amazing teammate E came by to “give" Santino the money he raised! His mom went to the bank and got wads of money, put them in a money bag and brought E over so he could give it to Santino. All of the money came in online, so she was just doing this so he could show him what he and done for Santino! They also brought over a beautiful plaque with a picture of E and a dedication, a beautiful, engraved golf tag, t-shirts, and a bib for Santino from PInehurst. It felt like Christmas! We are so thankful for all that they have done for us, and for our new friendship!
Throughout this trying yet wonderful time over the past 5 or 6 months, there has been an extra special person that deserves as much thanks and credit as anyone. That person is my wife, Amanda. With a very difficult pregnancy, and now in the very early stages of Santino's life, Amanda had believed in, advocated for, and questioned every decision that potentially affects what types of opportunity our little guy has. Countless hours on the phone scheduling appointments, taking Santino to all his doctors appointments, and all the efforts to get him the care he deserves and needs all why continuing to be a tremendous wife and extraordinary mother to Olivia and Teyo is why she is so special.
She believes in her family and demonstrates her love for us all not only by saying it but demonstrating it on a continual basis. To say that the kids and I are lucky to have her is an understatement. I believe 100% in what she does and back her to the fulles. We love you very much. Love Bobby, Olivia, Teyo and Santino......and Wrigley too.
