    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 tried pushing the CA sun towards you but I'm pretty weak. I really should start lifting.

    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.
