The Cubs Hat

I wanted to share this story because I thought it truly shows Patrick's love for the girls. To set it up........ About a year ago Patrick came home from a business trip and mentioned that he saw a guy in an airport with a green Chicago Cub's baseball cap on. For Pat to ever mention that he would like something is rare. I sat down with the computer and found the cap he was talking about. I ordered the hat; it arrived; and I surprised him with it.Here's a picture of the hat so you can see that it really isn't anything fabulous. It's just a hat...... so I thought.
Present Day.............While we were home a week ago, my niece was playing around with it the night before we left. The next morning Pat was looking all over my mom's house for it. He was in somewhat of a panic trying to find it. He called Kelsey to see if she might have taken it home, or knew where it might be. She said she had left it at gamaw's house. Once again Pat searched the house for it. I told him that I thought I might have put it in the suitcase with some other stuff but I wasn't for sure. Unfortunately, the car was already packed and the bags had been the first things to go in so there was no going through them. I couldn't quite figure out the importance of this one cap. He has a ton. I told him it's just a hat and if mom finds it she'll send it to us. He replied "I was wearing that hat when the girls were born. " I guess that baseball cap is a little more than just a hat.
