Special story

More than a year ago I went through my contacts list as I do from time to time and decided to check in with Todd Helton, a favorite whenever Colorado came to town. He was thrilled I reached out and shared how much he missed his former life - 17 years as the Rockies' No. 17 and All-Star first baseman - and retirement "was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life," he said. At that moment I knew there was a story to be told here, and I understood to a far lesser degree, of course, what he meant as someone who struggled through two maternity leaves losing my work identity.
