Excellent

This is inspirational! I love it when parents play with their kids, and the delight you feel - although rather concerned about measuring up - comes through with impact in the last sentence.
I hope you didn't have a heart attack and actually end up in Heaven!

Thanks, LisaMay. I played against my son and with my son in that league for many years.

Good for you... keeping the fitness and skill level up.

I love this! Especially the last phrase, I am in heaven. What a wonderful way to end this short-to-point piece! A hundred-word flash story is hard to write and you have it down to a science!
I wasn't sure I would like this, being sports and all but I loved it, hands down!
Too bad I don't have any sixes to give you!
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Jesse

You are welcome. A little bit but don't follow it anymore except the NCAA tournament!

I love that you use your hundred words to lead up to the pivotal moment, and then leave a couple of hints before letting us continue the scene in our heads. Great building of tension and excitement.

True, just be careful. At this point, you are doing great. It makes you feel good. It sounds like fun. And you get to be with your son. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Thanks, Carolyn. That was a few years ago. I think about doing it again, but my son is too old now.
