What a Great Baseball Game!
Saturday I woke up early because, I had made some special plans, to see a very special boy play baseball. I have thought often about saturday since and I have told everyone that would listen just how awesome it was, so I thought I would try and share with a few more People. In Lake Wales they have 2 baseball teams for kids with disabilities and handicapps. Alot of great guys from Warner Southern college volunteer there saturday mornings to help. It wasen't just any ordinary baseball game. I seen so much joy and happiness out on that field it was awesome. Their rules are a little different. The kids/young adults, get to swing that bat as many times as it takes to hit the ball. No such things as foul balls (unless the batter up thought it was.) No one got out, they all got to make it to home plate. and to top it all off there was no loosers,they always have a tie score... How much better does it get, than that???? I have never seen a happier bunch of kids/young adults as well as proud parents and family in my life.

You are one special lady!!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you... I have told many people about this baseball team and how great the kids are and how happy they are in general, let alone on that field. I have never gotten teary eyed to tell the greatness of those Saturday mornings, but to hear you tell it and feel as caring and loving about it as I do and notice how wonderful those children are and how not a care in the world of all the bad things going on around them matters, well, it made me cry. I am so glad that you had a great time and can appreciate those feelings. Another great moment shared by "us"! Thank you. We are really glad you came. Jeffrey is really sorry to see this week be that last game until next season.
