September 1975

"Hurry Rick, the bus is here," mom told me.

"coming mommy," I replied

I jumped down the last two stair steps. I ran up to my mom, gave her a nice warm hug, and a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you mom," I said with emotion. ​ It was the first day of school. I was in kindergarten. I ran​ to my dad. I remember giving him a hug, but not as meaningful as the one I gave my mom. This one was more shallow, less meaningful.

"love you, Dad," I said running out the door to catch the bus.

Later that day

"How was your first-day honey," mom asked

"I loved it, mom. We played, and I learned to add. I found my seat in class. And you know what mom,

Dave was there too!"

"did you have fun?" asked dad

"yeah! My teacher gave me a book to read so I'm gonna read it."Start writing your story
