Waiting His Whole Life

That is what Hayden told us about getting to be a part of one of the Field of Dreams team to go on the field at Dickey Stephens with the Travs. Oh he was so excited. As we were driving to the ballgame, it began to rain and then a few blocks more it quit. From the back seat of the truck, Hayden piped up and said "God gave me my wish because it stopped raining. He knows how much I always wanted to do this!"
I actually remember a little boy who would cry at Ray Winder Field when the Field of Dreams team would go out on the field and get too close to "his" players. Oh it woud just break his heart because he could not run out there. Then when he got a wee bit older he would feel bad about the players who did not have kids go to their spots. But now it was his turn and happy does not describe it.
So he waited...... Then he waited by the field.....
Then he waited with a favorite ballplayer....
Then he was off.....
He kept going......
And then he was there...his favorite spot...the hot corner....
Then it was time to come off the field.....

It was exactly as he thought it would be. He could not wait to tell us how cool it was, how big he felt, how much he could not wait to get to run out on a field like that for real!!!
I am glad it was worth the wait, son!
