PART 2

In the sequel to his award-winning debut, J.C. Burkesmith returns to his father's hometown for his burial.

Rather than eliminating our relatives out of our lives we must embrace what is uncomfortable and try and love the ones we don't understand so that we can understand ourselves.

 Not everyone is given a chance, but we all must make the best of the opportunities that come our way, saying yes to life, like Dad did. His team was us, his family, and he tried very hard to teach us about life through sports and drills, or games and competitions, because of the way he was raised in Boston. No one bats a thousand percent, no one is perfect, but we kept track of his errors, and some of us learned to accept him while learning to accept ourselves.
