She was so cute with freckles, curly waves hair that touched her shoulder and her hair were red like the sunrise of each morning. Her giggles laugh, and a smile light up the room everyone she walks into the backyard with a stuffed animal hanging in her tiny hand. Her older brother and his soccer buddy were messing around kicking a soccer ball around the yard. She did not understand at the time, after all, she was just a little girl who was seeing soccer for the first time in her life. She wanted to play with them instead of playing with Barbie's or having princess parties. Once she saw the ball, she ran and ran until she left up her foot backward then kicked straight into the goal. She dances and laughed until she fell to the ground. She did this again and again until she finally fell on the grass one last time when the sunset touched the trees and between the houses. The little girl fell asleep and looks so peaceful that she could not wake up and walk to her bed in the house. Her brother scooped her up into his arm, carry into the stairs and finally into her warm cozy bed with her favorite stuffed animal.
