Memories of ball games

Ah yes! Those cherished memories of those ball games that I played in my childhood with Dad, my brothers, and my cousins. From football to cricket, catch, and throwing the ball around in the ocean. Dad and I had a special ball game that we played; we would bump the ball to each other and try to see who could keep the ball bumping the longest.

I usually played with a large ball of a bright color, usually red but sometimes a multi-colored one. It was so much fun. I played in the hallway of our home. I played on our patio, and I played on the beach and in the savanna and park. I played in the sea and I loved it all. I used my sense of hearing to help me play and my limited vision enabled me to see the large colored ball.

Ah yes! Those memorable ball games! Forever embedded in my memory.
