Daddy, I still remember our games

We played ball games and we played card games. We played quiz games and we played hide and seek. We played all kinds of games and I remember them all. My dad never got tired of playing them with me.

Whenever we played ball games, we did it with a big bright ball so that I could see it. We played cricket and football and we invented a type of tennis game, as well. Most of the time, the ball was either red or orange. Our card games were played with Braille cards, cards that were marked with Braille dots.

Our quiz games consisted mainly of Dad testing my knowledge of any and every thing and sometimes I got to test his, as well. We had such fun doing it and Dad never got tired of testing, teaching, and gently guiding me along the way.

I loved those times when we played hide and seek and when he would have me chase him in the sea. I would have to try and catch him beyond the breakers or in the surf. Sometimes, he would have me chase him along the beach as well. Oh, how I loved and cherished those special times.
