I remember when my family was everything I had and wanted

I remember making huge snow forts

I remember making making french toast when it got too cold

And I can always remember how genuinely happy we were

I remember waking up super early on christmas to discover what Santa had left that year

I remember my huge birthday parties in the field beside our home

I remember the slip and slides we would set up at those parties

Even though I hated how the grass stuck to my sunburnt legs

I remember how I hated going to sleep because I couldn't wait to start the next day

But my favorite memories yet to come
