Children

     I am an only child and I never met my parents before. When I was little they had to leave and they haven’t came back and they aren’t until tonight. I am so happy but nervous at the same time. Walking around nervously is all I could do. Hitting, throwing is what I would be doing when they arrive. I will be playing a baseball game at Black Brook when they arrive. Now and my whole life I have been living with my aunt and uncle. Walking, falling, talking were all I was doing while I was waiting anxiously for my parents to arrive.

     I just wonder what they look like, smell like, how they sound like, what they like to eat, and what they feel and just about everything about them because I am just so excited.

     Now I am at my game and I just want to play so good for them and make them even more happy but I am so nervous now that I need to get a hit or two and make a couple of nice plays in the field.

     I am the lead off hitter and I start at second base. We were home so I was in the field first and no one hit the ball to me and no one reached base. When I got up I didn’t see my parents until there was a full count and I saw my aunt and uncle scream and they gave a hug to these two people and they pointed to me and I as so happy and excited but I also felt more pain then I ever felt in my life. The pitch came and I…

     I hit a bomb to deep left field and I jumped so high as the ball cleared the fence and I was so happy that I wasn’t the slightest bit nervous anymore. Jumping, running, screaming were what I did while I was running the bases.

     After the game I met my parents again for the first time since I was a little baby and we went out to eat and I was so happy.
