Welcome to week 2 of Beth's "showing" exercises. If you want to know more about the "Show Days" Series click here. This will be the last "show days" until after A-Z.
I find a seat on the first bleacher. My daughter and her family are sitting three rows up. I'd rather be there, but I'll never make it up the steps. It's okay. I can see Matt well from here. I hunker into my coat and try to stay warm against the wind. It's not possible. My teeth clatter together from the chill, but I refuse to leave. I don't know how many more chances I have to see Matt play. "Yes!" I jump up too fast when Matt rushes the ball across the field and throws it the remaining twenty feet to pass the goal. "Ouch," I moan returning to my seat. I probably shouldn't move that fast again.
I'm going to miss this. But I'll make the most of the next six months, and truthfully I have as much family on the other side as I do here now.
Okay, you tell me. Who is the character? Where is she at? What's happening?
Nice showing of an elderly character at her grandson's football game. :-)
ReplyDeleteYep. Thanks
DeleteYup, I'm agreeing with Lexa.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly
DeleteI'm going with Grandma at a sporting event :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteDefinitely a grandma, though I'm not sure about football. The action of that didn't quite match up for me. Of course, I'm hardly a sports expert. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe either. I just saw people running w/ the ball when E watches, so I thought I'd roll with it.
DeleteHmm, yes, maybe a grandma who only has six months or so to live??? As per the mysterious reference to "the other side"????
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm so glad you got that! and "I don't know how many more chances I'll have to see Matt play." I was trying to paint a granny at a football game who wasnot feeling celebratory. Maybe not sad, but just not excited you know?
DeleteI guess I'm the only one who got "grandpa" out of the post. Grandpa and football fit better for me, but now that I go back and look, the voice is more female. So good job!
ReplyDeleteLOL I guess I never really made gender clear. Thanks Jessie.
DeleteI agree with everyone. It seems like a grandma who has only a little time left to live.
ReplyDeleteYep. 6 months.
DeleteGrandma at football. I've sat through some chilly ones, but wouldn't miss them for the world.
