The Hock Family: Caleb’s first time at a NFL game

to see his favorite team, the Oakland Raiders playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz field in PA. It was also the first time he’s been away from me for that long ever. He has only ever stayed overnight at my moms house when he was much younger, and I would pick him up early early in the morning. I think I did great however, I did not cry when they left.. although I’m sure I would have if I was alone, but we all met at Ryan’s moms house and they left from there. I did however cry my eyes out Saturday night when my exhausted baby called me at 1:30 am crying his eyes out, almost unable to speak, telling me he missed me so much. He was just tired, but it broke my heart. I wanted to drive to PA to get him. When he called an hour earlier to tell me he was at the hotel and he sounded happy, I actually may have had a few tears then too hearing his voice, and then feeling all alone when he hung up. I missed my boys. Ryan, Caleb and my doggie. I’ve never stayed alone in my house with at least one of them! Speaking of my dog, it seems like ever since he’s been gone people ask Caleb on a weekly basis if he has a dog. We were asked twice yesterday! Then he has to tell them that his dog is dead. At first it was hard on me to witness that, but its almost comical now how often he is asked that.

Here are some pics!
