When he held me..

When I finally saw the Sonic mascot in person I could not hold back my tears. I know that it’s not the real Sonic The Hedgehog. It’s someone inside the Sonic costume bringing him to life for his fans. And someone who was kind enough to bring him to life for me for a few minutes.

I started to cry like a baby when I saw him. It was such a wonderful moment in my life. In front of me was Sonic The Hedgehog. I walked up to him and hugged him tightly. I didn’t have to do anything but hold him. All I could do was hold him and cry.

I don’t know why I couldn’t stop crying, I tried but the tears kept pouring down my cheeks. I remember he just held me and rubbed my back trying to calm me down. He let me hold him as long as I wanted.

I was happy.
