• Long-time ESPN host Tony Reali made his return to "Around the Horn" on Monday, after his infant son passed away. 

• The Realis were expecting twins, but lost their son Amadeo right before childbirth. The other baby, Enzo, recently came home healthy, he said on Twitter.

• On "Around The Horn," Reali made a powerful statement about the universal nature of grief, and the importance of being open and accepting of one's feelings.

• He also spared some thoughts for the children and parents who have been separated from each other at the U.S. border.
