Sue hits the Target!

Many of you know Sue is a huge Minnesota Twins fan. When diagnosed with her cancer in September of 2006 the talks and plans of the Twins new outdoor ballpark were happening It was at that time Sue set the goal of attending the opening day of Twins baseball at the new Target Field - three and a half years away.

So Saturday, April 3rd, Sue, sister Nancy, her husband Todd and myself attended a beautiful spring day of outdoor baseball - at the new Target Field!

Sue shared a lot of emotions - several which she will share with you soon. However, surrounded by this beautiful new ball park, sitting with the warm sun and the brisk air - the sound of baseball everywhere, Sue had a big smile. She had hit her Target - Target Field...and those of us that know and love her never doubted for a minute she would! (posted by Ed)

A quick note to let you all know I am doing great!!!! I am just happy and find new joy in each day.

The eye sight isn’t better but it isn’t worse - so I am very grateful to be able to get around on my own at home

Ahhh now to the ball park. You cannot imagine the feeling walking into the new Target Field. The first thing I did when I got to my seat (by the way Ed found the perfect seats) was to praise God. Next I visualized my Dad being here – he would have loved to shared this experience with me. Finally, I thought of the next generation of young boys and girls that would enjoy this experience with their mom’s, dad’s, grammas and grandpa’s at this wonderful park!

Later in the game a friend of ours, John Wade – who served on the commission to build the stadium, gave us a behind the scenes tour. John also arranged a stadium tour for us last year in Fort Myers. I have been blessed by so many kind people, thank you John. We saw firsthand how unique and special this facility is. Minnesota finally has a stadium second to none - it is something to be proud of!
