Game 16 – Warrior Wishes Come True In Philly!

For the 2nd consecutive night, my dad found himself arriving at 30th street station in Philadelphia during the middle of the night. With it being too late to get a hotel for the night he got a few hours of rest before finalizing his plans to make warrior wishes come true at the Eagles game.
