As it's Father's Day, we should all look at the relationship between Job and his father. What a great story!

<P>
They bonded over sports, they bonded over music. Most importantly, they bonded, period.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080610&content_id=2881333&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy">
It's a relationship that continues to this day, as Joba continues to call Harlan his best friend. They speak at least once daily by phone and reunite whenever the Yankees travel to the Midwest.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080610&content_id=2881333&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy">
"I don't think words can actually describe what he means to me, just as far as the example he set for me," Joba said. "He taught me to never take anything for granted, to be patient and to work hard for everything that he's got. Obviously, nothing was ever handed to him -- he worked in a prison for 27 years and is paralyzed on his left side. That tells you something about a man."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/14B574AB-F466-42F3-B339-15BF853EB1C2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
