With thanksgiving coming up, I tend to reflect on the life I have lived, the people that matter most and memories I am lucky enough to continue to make every day. I say this with a full but heavy heart, because like most, I also remember the ones I have lost along the way. Those people continue to shape us even though they are gone.
As I get older, I long for the memories of my childhood. I think about all of the times I annoyed my older brother or the times I would walk my little sister home from school. I remember driving to my grandma’s house every weekend and waking up on Saturday morning to music blasting and everyone cleaning. The yearly family vacations were honestly the best. The thing about all of those memories is that I was with my family.
I often think about how I would do or say things differently if I would have known then what I know now. It is easy to forget that the things we do or say today might last a lifetime in someone else’s memories.
I am going to keep this short and sweet. Hooray to another day of being thankful! With this, I leave you with a few pictures of people I love with my whole heart.
