I am from my father’s sweet melody of ‘Happy Morning Time’. From reading books until the early hours of dawn, stopping only for a midnight snack.

I am from grueling and stressful competitions that always end with laughs and fun. From the intensive programming and mind boggling challenges.

I am from sweltering summers and the beautiful snow capped mountains. From endless baskets of sweet, ripe peaches in the spring and stubborn mint with a mind of its own.

I am from the speedy, furry missile running up and down the house, playing hide and seek with his favorite human.

I am from playing board games every Saturday night and ordering Pizza Hut for dinner. From waking up seconds before it’s time to go and spending hours talking about both the philosophical and the truth.

I am from a home in my heart where my loved ones will always be by my side, even in death.
