Sharing Special Moments With Your Family.
Quite early in life, one discovers that the more time you spend with someone you start having feelings of attachment and security. When you share your life with family, the bond strengthens to the point where you become inseparable. My family is very close because we created many wonderful memories together and shared them with each other as often as we could.
There were times when my mother would be in the kitchen making something for supper, and she would want us to come in and help. You could never be sure if we were actually helping or not. There were times when her new anodized cookware set would be dropped on the floor adding another dent or scratch to mar its luster. She handled this all with the patience of a saint and helped us clean up whatever mess we had made. As a result, we all seemed to develop a love for cooking and baking.
As much as we loved helping our mom in the kitchen, there were other things that we enjoyed just as much. Family game nights were another way that we all connected. When a board game got set on the table, we all raced downstairs to ensure we got our favorite colored game pieces. At that point, we thought you had to have the right piece to have fun. It was quite a few years before we all discovered that irregardless what piece you are using, the fun comes from the people that you are playing the game with.
Another rather enjoyable time that we all seemed to share together was sitting around the scrapbook album that my mom made. Each page was lovingly hand detailed to the specific individuals displayed upon it. Often you could see her love in how each page was arranged. Every picture was carefully placed, loving or witty phrases surrounding it helped us to remember and cherish those special moments.
Often our laughter at the images on the pages would make her smile with fondness. Perhaps one of the most interesting photos was of the time we went to ball game. We were all excited, the stands were filled with cheering fans and the scent of roasted peanuts filled the air.
With a soda in hand we took our seats in the stands. Just as we started sitting the the batter stepped up to the plate, with each practice swing his black helmet shone in the sunlight. As the ball flew towards him he lifted the bat and as it connected it flew off the bat towards our seats. We all stood trying to catch it, my mother snapped a picture as the ball landed in my hands.
While there were plenty of other enjoyable family moments, these were perhaps a couple of my favorites. Ones that perhaps one day will be created and shared with my children.
