As I'm setting here preparing for the 4th of July celebration that we
as a family have every year, I can't help but wonder about the way it
use to be when I was younger. I remember when you could let off
fireworks in your yard, you didn't have to go somewhere else to see
them and enjoy. You didn't have to worry about what would happen
because everyone took precautions and as neighbors we enjoyed things
together. My own children didn't know what it was like to see fireworks
because it wasn't until the last two years that we were able to have
them in neighboring towns. The one thing that I enjoy about the 4th of
July is the family gatherings, fireworks and the giving of thanks to
the people who made this all possible for me and my family. If it
wasn't for them and their fight and struggles I would not have what I
have today. I get to enjoy my freedom and do things in life that I want
because of them. This year is extra special, because it will be the
first year that my grand daughter will be able to
see and enjoy the
fireworks with us. I know that she is a little to small to actually
hold them, but she will be able to see them. Like I said before my own
children didn't get this option. It is great being a grand parent for
the first time. I have already been through the parenting stage with
one and I still have a few more years left before my last two are old
enough to be out on their own, but it is great to share these memories
with a new generation. To see her face when she gets to experience
things for the first time, it is a fabulous feeling. This feeling is
something I get every time we get to do something new. We just took her
for the day to the park and after wards we went for ice cream at our
favorite local ice cream spot. All the kids had a great time watching
Kiley eating ice cream for the first time. Alex and Heather my other
two children couldn't stop laughing at her and the way she ate it. Any
way I better get going, before I run out of time and don't get all of
the food done. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading this and it brings
back memories of your own.
