I am from a family of five;

playing games, watching family movies, and swinging on the playset.

Upbeat and delighted...

I am from sizzling summer days;

splashing, boating, and munching on Pot Bellys.

Smiles breathe fresh air as hands hold tight to the moment...

I am from breezy summer nights;

watching the sunset, catching fish and fireflies.

Discouraged and disappointed I never caught a fish...

I am from play dates with my neighbors;

riding bikes around the houses until dark and mixing Witches’ Soup.

Young, sentimental...

I am from walks in the sand, inhaling the salty air;

collecting seashells and starfish on the beach in Florida.

Merry and lively…

I am from mosquito-infested forests;

turning on flashlights and frolicking around the fire.

Playful and mischievous…

I am from a family of five;

Overflowing with joy, loving, and remembering sunny, playful times.

Heartbroken and nostalgic...
