Day 14- Your earliest memory.
Well, Today im getting a early start on my blog. I dont know why but im in the mood to write. So why not write the next blog, right? Anyways, Day 14 wants me to write about my earliest memory. WOW! I have so many. Where to start? Which one to write about? LOL! Well, since its christmas time, i guess ill write about a earliest christmas memory.
My earliest christmas memory is when all of my family always gathered at my Great Grandma's for christmas or any holiday for that matter. It didnt matter if you had other plans, your butt better come to my Great Grandma's to eat or atleast show your face! I really miss those days so bad. I totally took those christmas's for granted. Now, im wishing i had those christmas's back! Every year my family and i gathered at my Great Grandma's and we ate and shared old memories. It was so much fun! Then we would go in her living room and exchange gifts. It would end up being one of the best days in my life. Spending christmas with my family! Being with all of my family i really miss it. We all were so close and so happy with each other! Those years and days were so awesome. I just cant explain it! Family to me means everything to me. I guess thats why i cant let my mom go. I guess thats why i try to keep close to my mom. I dont wanna loose her too. Shes the only thing i have thats actually real family. I mean dont get me wrong i have billy and tippy and my grandpa but its not the same. I know my mom is the b word sometimes and i know she lets her husband control her, but i still love my mother. If it wasnt for her i wouldnt be alive. So with that, i keep my mother close regardless of the issues i have with her. Anyways, those family gatherings at christmas time at my Great Grandma's was the greatest. No one ever came there with an attitude and if you did, you left it at the door. My great grandma loved the holidays and loved her family. Therefore, you never disrespected her. You always showed her and her home respect. Her home and food was the best ever! I loved staying over there!
Her food was the best ever! She definitely knew how to cook! She cooked from her heart and soul and you tasted that everytime you ate her food. Her food was never nasty and bland. She never cooked with measuring cups or anything that measures your ingredients. She cooked by eyeing everything. Everytime it came out perfect! She really loved cooking and i think thats where i get it from. I mean i know my Grandma loved cooking too but sometimes she didnt like it and she sometimes she complained about it! My great grandma never did! Atleast she never did around me! LOL! My family, yes, was disfunctional, but i loved my family. I loved that i knew around the holidays we were going to be together no matter what. I mean now its the same sort of. I mean me, billy, tippy, my granddad, and billys mom and brother come over to eat and spend time with us. But thats it. I guess i shouldnt worry about it. I should just be happy with what i have. Enjoy the family that i do have. I just wish some of my family was still around so they could come to my house for the holidays. Enjoy my food and talk about old memories in my house. That would be awesome! My family knew how to have a good time around the holidays and knew how to cook! IT WAS AWESOME!
That earliest christmas memory will always be apart of me. I guess i just have to be patience and someday ill be able to relive my memories throught my own family one day. I just have to be patient. I honestly cant wait for that time to come. Showing my kids how i grew up around the holidays. Christmas as always been my favorite holiday. I guess its because of my family. It was a time where nothing really mattered. At christmas, no one remembered anything you did in those past couple of months. Christmas was just a time of joy, happiness, and love in my family. That honestly is my favorite earliest memory. Christmas time with my family! Things happen in life that we cant explain happen for a reason. So guys, there you have it! That is my earliest Christmas memory! I wish that memory was still possible but we all have to move on. We all have to make our own memories with our own families. Thats just the way it is! There is no way around it! I just hope one day my children look back at their childhood and love the holidays like i did! I hope i can give that joy during the holidays like i got when i was a child. :)
Well, until next time, love your family with all of your heart. Love that they want to spend time with you because you never know when one day God decides they need to go to heaven. Love them for who they are because who they are is apart of you whether you want to believe that or not! Keep your family close. They will always be there for you no matter what and no matter how old you are and no matter where you go! <3
