00:10 - I was 12 when a plane crashed into the North Tower of the

00:13 World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and killed

00:16 my dad, Kevin Conroy.

00:18 It turned out that my family had a guardian angel.

00:28 At first, I thought the whole thing was a publicity stunt,

00:31 inviting me to a Yankees Mariners playoff game where we

00:34 sat in a luxury suite, and then flying us to Arizona for

00:37 the 2001 World Series.

00:40 But instead, it was the beginning of a

00:42 beautiful friendship.

00:44 Right from the start, Bobby Valentine was there for me and

00:46 my three sisters.

00:49 He was in the stands at our basketball games, and he came

00:51 to career day at our middle school.

00:55 And when a ball field in Brooklyn was dedicated in my

00:57 dad's honor, Bobby came for that too.

00:59 No one was ever going to replace my father, but Bobby

01:06 was always there if we needed him.

01:08 When he was managing in Japan, I'd spend my summer vacations

01:11 there, shagging flies with the team and learning how to

01:14 travel on my own in a foreign country.

01:17 What I realize now is that he was helping me to grow up.

01:21 We're family now.

01:23 He and I text or talk on the phone all the time.

01:27 Bobby says it was baseball that got me through those

01:30 terrible early days.

01:32 But the way I see it, it was Bobby who helped get me

01:34 through, and 20 years later, he's still looking out for me.
