I am

I am from swinging on swings and climbing up trees.
Staying up to watch the sunset and sing songs with grandma.

I am from lying on the carpet listening to grandpa tell old stories about the war. From drinking coffee and dancing and singing while playing barber shop.

I am from buliding forts to keep the evil monsters out. Riding bikes just to see how fast we could really go.

I am from eating home cooked meals that could feed a whole army.

I am from eating deer meat that taste just right.
I am from playing football and whiffle ball with whiny cousins that didnt like to lose.

I am from climbing mountains and hiding in the forest.
I am from loving the mountains, the sun shine, and the fall.

I am also from a family that slowly drifted apart when the greatest person in the world had to die.
I am from having to grow up when i didn't want to.
