V4 ch41 Kyle Leaves (3)
"This is it." Mom dabbed her eyes with the sleeve of her t-shirt. We were back at the house minus Kaylee and her sister.
Kyle's car, formerly Dad's, was all packed up. With every little item Mom could think of at the last minute to stuff in. His baseball bag had a seat of its own just to insure he didn't lose sight of it. He said everything was replaceable except for his gear. His glove was broken in to fit his hand perfectly. His cleats were still relatively new and didn't give him blisters. His bat was mostly symbolic now, just a reminder that he was able to swing in high school. He said he might still take some practice swings in the cages to let off some steam. Which made Noah laugh and claim that it would just make him more angry.
Kyle let Mom hug him and just rubbed her back. "Mom, I'll be back before you know it. You can even try to make it to one of my starts when you guys get back from Omaha. I'll let you know when I know more."
