"Actually it was two men, respectively, who bought softball mitts for for each of their nephews.
//Nephew #1 immediately began to play sand lot ball, went out for the team come springtime. After day one, he never looked back.
//Nephew #2 learned gradually. Sporadically; he wasn't always clear on his future with softball. He never was all that good at it moreover, there were others who had a real flair. He knew theory, he knew many of the tactics of the game and had done excellent coaching on occassion.
"Being able to talk about it is not doing it.
"Maybe it was bodily. #2 was athletic, however it is possible he fell short of being a grade-A player for reason of constitution. //When he was found dead his body was still warm. There were prayers (Kaddish?) beginning the moment they monitored his heart, with shifts lasting during the time his spirit was leaving. .
"His room was sparse. On the nightstand was acandle and the softball mitt. Through life he'd played just now and then -- not so regularly. In his last hours it was that to which he wanted to hold.

One of my ideas is that #2 is a quite sensitive person. Wherein the other one is not as interesting to me. The way #2 is referred to tells me he had a focus in life.
The mitt is also a tangible thing to hold onto. He is able to look at it and touch it and find memories. Somehow it to me seems a bit like a pet, a physical reminder.
Sorry that msg somehow got doubled :-)~
