   One thing I will tell you, and one thing that is different from what has been written in books, was that Andy was never jealous of my dad, he was his biggest fan and mentor. Everything later he was in, he wanted to get my dad in, too… He was in my dad’s corner.

3. Reda Hicks:

   My son was so little, explaining 300 days to him was out of the question, answering the questions about when dad would be home every single day wore on me so badly, I actually wound up making a huge paper chain for( my son Howie), with the number of chain links matching the number of days left. At first, it wrapped around our bannister from the second floor. We tore one off every night before bed, and it helped my son understand the bigness of time away, but that it was getting smaller.

4. Central Press/Hulton Archive/Getty Images Pelé:

Yes, but fundamentally, it was always underpinned with a respect. I knew she was a good mom. I always hoped she knew I was a good dad. I knew I was.
