We got there at around 11:30 am.
Had some time to play frisbee.
“Where are they, where are they?” Andy kept asking; he was sitting on my shoulders.
We were on the side of the street in front of Wellesley Town Hall; exactly mile 13 of the 26.2 mile marathon.
It was 2:00 pm and Andy was getting tired. He was handing out water and oranges to the runners.
“Dad, when are they coming??”, still asking.
Suddenly Kelli appeared in the middle of the street and we started shouting. Kelli stopped I put Andy down in front of her; Kelli carried Andy. The photographers from Children’s Hospital gathered around them.
It was a great moment.
Kelli kept on running and on her back she had a sign that said “ANDY”. We could also see her shoes from a distance.
Andy had to take a seat.
Moments later a video crew from Children’s asked me some questions about the hospital; we were waiting for Elyse.
And suddenly she appeared;
“Elyse is here! Elyse is here!” we shouted.
It was great to see her.
Andy was a little tired but also happy.
Thank you Elyse and Kelli!
