I will always remember…..
I will always remember my childhood porch swing, good times with my sister, climbing trees in the bayou, dancing with my mother when I was 7, Christmas morning, the way you helped me love thunderstorms, and singing in the church Jesus Loves Me and God Loves Me.
I will always remember the aromas of grandmas cooking and the smell of fresh cut greens, the smell of roses, and newborn babies, and the smell of Christmas trees.
I will always remember my pets, my dogs, my cats and the grace they brought to me, and the feeling I had when I had to put them down.
I will always remember my closest family and friends, trips to Hawaii, Maui, Yellowstone, the Rocky Mountains, and the Smokey Mountains, the turning of fall in New England, visiting Turkey, the Niagara Falls, and the door handle at the LSU dorm.
I will always remember my grandparents and the love they showed me, my grandfather hands, her rubbing my eyebrows, my grandmother rubbing my eyes, times I spent at their farm and their house, playing jacks with my grandmother and how pretty she smelled, and how they were both beautiful inside and out.
I will always remember my father and his smile, the twinkle in his blue eyes, they way he danced on his feet, his feelings of me not to marry someone with baggage.
I will always remember my mother and her laughter and her smile, her love, the girl talks we had, and her combing my hair.
I will always remember meeting my spouse and his face and his smile, my wife’s face and eyes the day we got engaged, my wedding day and my 2nd wedding.
I will always remember the birth of my children, their love and their laughter, and what they have taught me, and the birth of my daughter and son.
I will always remember the night my grandma said goodbye, the day my son died, my mother before Alzheimer’s set in and the night she died. I will always remember you.
