"Once I found out she was in labor, I just tried to get that first flight out. I missed one, which would have got me there earlier, but finally got on one and was just texting with her mom the whole time while she eventually gave birth to our son," White said according to The Boston Globe. "And it was just a special feeling. I wasn’t there, but even just getting pictures and videos and all that on the plane, it was just special, and he’s already changed our life, so it’s been crazy. And then just sitting with him, watching the game, cheering us on from home, so it was cool. And just one of those moments that I’ll have forever."
