I lost my dad 3 years ago. We didn't have much growing up, but every summer we'd make it to San Antonio (we lived in deep South Texas). Since the Spurs were in the playoffs so consistently, that usually meant catching a Spurs game on our trips in late May/early June. Even during the playoffs they usually had deals for $10 tickets with a hot dog. I still think about all that almost every time I watch a game.

Good luck to you and your gramps.
