    I remember waiting for my Dad's truck to pull up in the driveway after work. My brother's and I would race out to his truck, the first one who got to him was the one that got to take off his work boots.

    When my Dad passed away a few years ago, it was the one thing I couldn't let go of...so I kept them.

    - this mad me think of when my girls were young when I’d come home I’d always sit in my chair and take off my shoes and they’d race to bring me my slides - good times

    It's the little things in life ❤️

    Nothing can beat coming home from work and seeing your kids sprint to you to love on you. I'm lucky enough that my 8 and 9 year old still do this but I know the day is coming where they'll think they're too cool for me 🥲

    It is a great feeling

    I don’t have kids but yall are reminding me of when my niece was a toddler and I’ll always remember that time I came back to visit and she was visibly shaking with excitement and jumping up and down on the sidewalk by her apartment, grinning ear to ear.

    Oh and the time maybe a year or two later when I was meeting them at the park for her birthday and she ran clear across two fields too hug me. I MISS that! I think she’s gonna be freaking 11 in March. Smh

    I remember being laughed at by my entire girl scout troop for bringing a bologna and ketchup sandwich to our picnic.

    When my daughter was in 5th grade she absolutely loved tuna. Can I tell you that all of her friends told her how "gross" her lunch was. 😤 She refused to eat it for a very long time after that incident. Kids can be so cruel 😔

    I remember that giant thing in the sky made up of hydrogen and helium. The thing that chases away the clouds, provides light and heat, and uplifts my grumpy mood. Yea, the sun. It's been six days since I last saw it, if you happen to see it can you please tell it I've missed him....and send him my way.

    I remember Sunday lunch roast dinner. We never ate it through the week. Sunday lunch was special and there was always a dessert to follow like rice pudding or bread and butter pudding. Sunday afternoon was spent in a food coma 😁

    I remember my mom used to brush my hair, she'd brush my ears, my forehead, my neck and even my brain.

    I remember the Friday nervous anticipation and excitement before a high school football game, the thrill of playing and coming together with so many different people, and pool parties afterwards. Everyone was so happy and alive...in the moment.

    I remember as a young kid we had a massive blizzard dump several feet of snow, no work or school for over a week. Somebody in our apartment complex put forth the time overnight to carve out an actual igloo made of snow/ice blocks, large enough for kids age 6-8 to stand upright inside. All the kids in the complex played in that thing all day...until one kid got the idea it'd be fun to smash it in. I don't remember whose idea it was, but I do remember being part of the demolition team, much to my chagrin.

    I remember dressing up my five years old daughter for her preschool Halloween party as a bunch of grapes. We pinned purple balloons all over her, and put a cute beanie with green leaves on her head.

    However, what I forgot to do was leave her little butt free of balloons so she could sit down. In a fit of anger she ripped off her little beanie and the static from the balloons made her cute lil blonde locks stand up straight on her head. She has never forgiven me after all these years.

    I had a pretty idyllic upbringing. We lived in the country, in a subdivision, we were farmers, all the neighbours had kids our age so we'd play road hockey, baseball in our backyard, once we had a camp out cause my dad was airing out some tents. There were farmers fields behind us so we'd go exploring through the fields, walked or rode our bikes to the plaza for pops and candy.

    Eventually in my teens when we'd skate all summer friends I'd make who were sent for summer training would want to come to my house to hang out with my parents cause they always made them feel welcome and didn't care if people just dropped in.

    So ya... I remember the easy going days of youth

    I remember adopting this tyrant of my life. Logan. A memory popped up with these pictures. Oct 7th. His papers say no fingers for good reason. He to this day will not hesitate to bite me or take a swipe. ‘Pet me!!! With your eyes! 😾’ And o m g when he was a kitten he had too much energy. Was so glad when I adopted my street cat after him bc they became instant friends and would play with him forever; handle that energy.
    He is a dog-cat. Neurotic af. He’s been herding me and the roommate like cattle. He is sleeping at my feet rn and always stands watch. High alert. Do NOT touch his stomach! Or nub tail. I always touch his tail and sometimes I bleed bc of my annoying ways. 😼
    Oh ya past events, not current. He used to look so cute inside the Christmas tree. He’s too big now, not that it really stops him. About that season again. 😸

    So this is more of a comical memory, BUT I remember when I was younger i stayed at my grandparents alot. One day my grandma pulled me in the kitchen and told me ," Son I'm gonna teach you how to cook and clean cause you ain't gonna be able to rely on any of these girls these days" and to this day I still love to cook and keep the place clean while taking care of everything else 😂

    I remember third grade, the teacher kept telling us we would learn to write in cursive after Christmas break. My family moved to a different state during that same Christmas break. First day in a brand new school to start the new year, my teacher says, "Since we've been practicing cursive all year so far, from now on I won't accept any homework not done in cursive." I had to teach myself how to write cursive by looking to the example display above the chalkboard, look down to write a letter, look up for the next letter, etc. All while trying to keep up with the actual new material everybody was being taught.
