Day Three: Ten Positive Memories that you never want to let go of.
I wrestled with this one -- pick just one moment frozen in time and it has to be a GOOD memory? It made me realize that many of the pleasant memories have downsides that linger with them -- think of one and the other one comes to mind as well. In no particular order:
Junk food odysseys -- Tom, Gem and I would slip away from the condo in Ocean City, NJ, leaving the Brinkers behind, and start eating our way down the boardwalk. Funnel cake. Peanut butter fudge. Cookies. Frozen custard. None of it good for us, all of it ruining our appetite for supper, and worth every minute as we strolled and talked and ate.
Grandmom Hughes' Sunday afternoons through the years -- after dinner we would sit and talk in the living room while the kids ran around either outside or down the basement and the menfolk sat in the TV room, smoking and watching the game. Sooner or later, we would start to sing rather than talk, sometimes with Grandmom playing the guitar, sometimes a cappella
The 4th of July family reunion I took Grandmom to in Frostburg around 1980 when the all the adults [there must've been twenty of us] sang God Bless America at the park in the gathering dusk. We had gone from chatting to singing and someone started the song. Suddenly we were all standing and singing with gusto -- a rousing rendition that made the entire countryside ring with the harmony. Those sons and daughters of Welsh coal miners could really sing!
a montage of vignettes of hugging my kids. singing in the car, reading books to them. The bedtime routine of happy tuneful splashing in the tub, followed by a book and then the quiet lullabies.
my wedding days -- whatever happened in the marriages, the weddings were awesome and joyous. And that includes the one in SL too!
that moment in Imagination when the clouds rolled by and Dreamfinder started singing with Figment when I fell in love with all things Disney
meeting and shaking hands with Issac Assimov
holding Annelise for the first time. Annelise running towards me and squealing happily the first time I go to pick her up at day care
debarking from the cruise ship when we arrived in Nassau and actually stepping for the first time into another country
Grandpop Hughes taking us out on the Nim Nell and letting me "drive" the boat.
Honorable mention: Frank driving, breaking into laughter and laughing so hard that he had to pull over when I told him he wouldn't say the glass was half empty or half full, he would say "don't touch that because some dirty SOB pissed in it"
