Long Journey Home

A Story by Kaye

Getting on an airplane going to New York - Never have I ever gotten on an airplane in my life. Meeting a young mother and her child. The little boy smiled at me and had two teeth missing out of his mouth. He said "Hey! I like playing football" and I said "Is that the reason why you are missing two teeth?". He said "I reached up to catch the ball and it hit me in the mouth" - "It hurt for a minute, but I keep on playing with my friends". I looked at him and I felt sorry for him. For a moment, I was happy to meet him because even though he lost two of his teeth, he hope one day to become a pro-football player and take care of his mother. Never give up on your dreams.

Happy Kaye.
