Family time is so important to us. My brothers and I were still young and in school when he played. We went to NBA All-Star Weekend when he was participating, but didn’t go on the road when it came to day-to-day travel. We did take family vacations when he wasn’t working and my mom did a wonderful job of planning everything and making each place special.
