Exceptional A true story Snippets : Ryan's Tears by Brett Matthew West      War Story Contest Winner

Ryan was a lonely boy, especially after his Daddy went off to war. He never felt so alone in his life. Sensing his sadness his Mother convinced their hometown baseball team to let him throw out the first pitch at their next game. Ryan proudly strolled to the pitcher's mound and was handed a baseball. He wound up and threw it to the catcher. The catcher caught the ball and removed his mask. The surprised boy bolted into his Daddy's outstretched arms much faster than he had tossed the baseball. Happy tears rolled down the faces of everyone there. Writing Prompt Write a War story in less than 100 words. Can be about anything dealing with war, even coming home from war.

I watch over Ryan and his Mother when his Daddy is deployed because his Father and I have been real close personal friends for many years. There really wasn't a dry eye in the stadium when Ryan and his Daddy were reunited after his Father's third deployment to Afghanistan ended. Ryan was not told beforehand that his Daddy had returned. I knew I had to write this one. Thanks sonshine for the use of your picture.
