For Healthcare Appreciation Night at Dodger Stadium, Alex and Kayla Vesia invited the staff that helped them through the passing of their newborn daughter Sterling in October. Alex says he was about to cry after striking out all three batters he faced to close out the win.

This is incredible. I think people often want to thank the healthcare workers in these scenarios, but it can feel so heavy to do so through the grief. Good on them. I hope it was healing for everyone. 

It’s not often that my Mets fan self roots for anyone wearing a Dodgers uniform but happy that Vesia got to put on a show for those who supported him and his wife during what I imagine to be the hardest time in their life.

All the thanks and praise for healthcare workers who show up day in and day out to help, support, and quite literally save lives while being so grossly underpaid and under appreciated.

My wife gave birth to our beautiful daughter at 20 weeks, unfortunately that’s just too early. Had an amazing team of doctors/nurse’s that helped us during the worst time in our lives.

A year later my wife gave birth to our beautiful son. Got to finally thank the doctor who was there with my wife when we lost our daughter. It’s tough during the time to show appreciation when you are such at a low. Glad I was able to shake his hand and thank him a year later.

I maybe a huge Mariners fan/suffer but I’ve always thought about Kayla and Alex after they lost their little girl. After seeing this, I have to say Kayla and Alex are class acts. I’m glad they’re getting the therapy they need after losing their little girl.
